Former Lokomotiv forward Dmitry Sychev commented on the club’s performance in the current Russian Premier League campaign, offering a veteran’s perspective on how the season has unfolded. He noted that the Railmen found themselves in a challenging position at the end of the first portion of the season, took a winter break, and then returned to action under a new leadership. Mikhail Galaktionov was appointed as head coach during the pause, the squad received several additions with substantial experience, and upon the restart the team pressed on, clinching four consecutive victories. Sychev emphasized that while the team’s recent results show improvement, Lokomotiv has not yet reached the level it should hold in the standings, and there remains a sense of unfinished business and room for further progress. He pointed out that the club’s potential exceeds its current place, and he underscored the importance of translating good performances into consistent results over the remainder of the season.
