Moscow head coach “Lokomotiv” Mikhail Galaktionov explained to the tasks that await him in the new season of the MIR Russian Premier League (RPL).
On Saturday, July 20, as part of the first round of the Russian Championship, Lokomotiv will host Akron.
— There is an opinion that in the first round the team is not yet fully ready. In your opinion, was it possible to prepare the team perfectly for the start of the season?
— It is clear that perfection never comes. You always want it to be better, both functionally and technically and tactically. From game to game, we will move, add and improve the components of the game.
To a greater extent, in the first few games, more attention will need to be paid to understanding the game.
— Explain the reasons why you switched to playing with three central defenders.
“We can vary the game interactions depending on the matchmaking we have. We can switch to three or two central defenders. It depends on how we want to launch attacks or defend.
— In the first round, you play with an RPL beginner. Is playing in Akron an easy schedule?
— We already said last season that it is not necessary to look at the names of the teams. All opponents are fighting, are thorny and can bring surprises. We must approach the game correctly, we must be organized and disciplined. Of course, we must win.
— What is your task as a coach for the season?
– Of course, to be much higher than last season, to go from match to match winning. “Today, first of all, and in the future, in every match,” Galaktionov said on .
A live broadcast of the match will be available from 14:50 Moscow time on the MATCH PREMIER TV channel, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
