Lokomotiv defender Stanislav Magkeev said he was very happy to play his first match in eight months.
The footballer entered the field during the team’s friendly match at the winter training camp against Urartu (2:1). Since May last year, the defender has been recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
– Incredibly happy. I wanted to play more, but I haven’t played football for 8 months, I had a bad injury, so it’s been 20 minutes for now. Thank God we won. I felt the game, the opponent. I am happy. I wanted to start playing earlier, but now a minor injury has hampered me. It’s like that. There are three games left, I will try to play as many as possible and then we will see. 20 minutes passed in a flash. I asked the referee to add a few more minutes, but everyone wanted to go and finish the match, especially since we were winning. He didn’t fall under my spell (smile).
Did I know in advance that I would go out? I prepared myself, but I still didn’t understand how the state of my muscles was regulated. Damage? It was tough mentally when you don’t play for a long time, you start training and something appears again, the main thing is to continue working every day and gain momentum,” Magkeev said in a interview with the club’s press service.
After 18 rounds “Locomotive” ranks fourth in the WORLD RPL rankings. The championship will resume at the beginning of March.
