Valery Gazzaev, former head coach of the Russian national team and CSKA, spoke emotionally about Lokomotiv’s possible relegation from the Russian Premier League (RPL).
“I believe that neither journalists nor actors should raise this issue. How is it possible for Lokomotiv to fly away? It’s going to be some kind of madness. With these kinds of opportunities, with these kinds of players, that can’t happen. It is a shame to even bring up this issue, they should not think about it. Yesterday’s match showed that the quality of the game is good, but there is still a lot of work ahead. Why have players started talking about relegation? This is bullshit! ”, – quotes Gazzaev’s words “Sport Express”.
After 17 rounds of the RPL, “railway workers” are in 14th place in the ranking. Only one point separates Mikhail Galaktionov’s accusations directly from the relegation zone.
In the last ten games of the championship, the Muscovites have only had one win against Torpedo, who is definitely in last place.
It is worth noting that Lokomotiv performed very well in the group stage of the Russian Cup. The team finished second and gained access to the playoffs on the RPL Road. In the first match, 1/4 Galaktionov’s team lost to Spartak 0:1.
