Famous coach Stanislav Cherchesov responded to the question of whether the lifting of the transfer ban on the Lokomotiv team means that the team will compete for the top positions in the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He emphasized that the lifting of the transfer ban does not immediately mean that they will be contenders for the top positions. The team has strengthened its squad with three new players, but their squad was already strong enough before.
According to Cherchesov, transfers are a good thing, but the main thing is the coaching process and the unity of the team. He stressed that the team should focus not only on transfers but also on the training process. Last season, Lokomotiv finished sixth in the Russian Premier League standings.
Under the leadership of head coach Mikhail Galaktionov, the team did not perform very well in the spring season, but moved closer to the top positions in the fall season. In the first round of the new season, Lokomotiv will play against Sochi at home.
This game is expected to create new opportunities for the team and show what results they can achieve throughout the season. Thus, the lifting of the transfer ban creates opportunities for the team, but the main factors are coaching and the team's serious preparation.
