— Yes, now, after almost every match, we have to communicate in the mixed zone. Of course, the attention is nice, but I try not to let it distract me directly from football.

—I’m not thinking that far yet. But as you know, I have been at the Lokomotiv academy since I was six years old. In other words, “Lokomotiv” is my whole life, consciously, of course. I don’t know how my career is going to go, I have to take it step by step. Now I’m at the stage where I need to get a foothold in the main team. We’ll see there,” Batrakov told .
