Lokomotiv General Director’s advisor on sporting matters, Dmitry Loskov, commented on rumors about midfielder Alexei Batrakov’s departure from the club. I think he’s not paying attention to it, but simply doing his job – playing football. And every match is decisive. After last season, a lot of attention will be focused on it. The main thing here isn’t psychologically not to break through. But I think it’s too early for him to think about Europe. So far, he needs to get a little stronger here, build up his confidence. Last season, Batrakov played 29 matches in the Russian Premier League, scoring 14 goals and providing 7 assists. Source link
