Dmitriy Sennikov, a former defender of the Lokomotiv team in Moscow, stated what the "railway workers" need to strengthen in order to secure high positions in the Russian championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, the team's defense needs to be solid, so they can approach the first or second places. Lokomotiv continues its policy of giving opportunities to young players and manages its budget frugally.
The football expert expressed these thoughts on the "Match Premier" television channel. Last season, the Lokomotiv team finished sixth in the Russian Premier League standings. At the same time, the championship title was won for the first time by the "Krasnodar" team.
The second place was taken by St. Petersburg's "Zenit," while the third place was occupied by the capital's CSKA team. The results show that it is crucial for Lokomotiv to improve its defense and provide even more opportunities for young players to rise to higher positions.
A clear strategy and effective play are necessary for the team's continued success.
