Lokomotiv head coach Mikhail Galaktionov after the win over Akhmat in the 19th round match, MIR RPL said the result was achieved largely due to the players’ character.
On Saturday, Lokomotiv beat Akhmat Grozny on the road. The game ended 1-0 in favor of the guests, the only goal was scored by Sergey Pinyaev.
– A very difficult match, difficult, considering the deletions. We tried to introduce some nuances during the game, in terms of rebuilding, we added the right players to areas to direct Akhmat players to where we needed them. We know our strengths and weaknesses, but today we won the toughest three points against a good, well-prepared team. The game can evolve in different ways, but the fact that we played in the minority with discipline, with character is worth a lot. Today’s victory is very important.
– Was it your game to block the flanks of Akhmat, where Berisha and Sadulaev operate?
Of course, but not only them. I know most of the players, I worked with someone. I drew Lechi (Sadulaev) very young from the youth team, he started training with the first team, so I know his strengths and weaknesses. We focused on leveling Berisha and Sadulaev, but the main thing we tried to play was to score a great goal after a good combination. Then, the nature of the game was such that you had to play disciplined.
– Will there be some sort of disciplinary conversation with Magkeev and Nenakhov about the dismissals?
– We will analyze, disciplinary cards, of course, are sanctioned. Play – we will think, but minus two players before the next round – it will affect, although Dima Barinov returns, some will have a chance to get more playing time. We have said many times that competition promotes progress, for that everyone trains and advances.
– Complaints about deletions?
– In pursuit, it’s hard to say, you have to watch the video. The only thing was that they prepared Nenakhov not to commit a foul, since he already had a yellow card. An optional foul in the halfway line led to a withdrawal, from this point of view we will talk in order to remove unnecessary violations, ”reports the correspondent in the words of Galaktionov.
Lokomotiv (19 points) is 13th in the standings, Akhmat (29 points) is sixth.
In the next round, Mikhail Galaktionov’s team will host Krasnodar, Akhmat will play away with Wings of the Soviets.
