Lokomotiv Moscow midfielder Alexei Batrakov admitted that he was a little nervous during his first meeting with the head coach of the Russian national football team, Valery Karpin.
Batrakov graduated from Lokomotiv. In the current RPL season, the footballer played seven matches, scored three goals and provided five assists. The 19-year-old midfielder joined the Russian national team for the September training camp.
— Tell us about your first meeting with Karpin. How did it go?
— We just said hello when we were with the team.
– The hand was shaking?
– A little. Then, in the gym, Valery Georgievich came and jokingly said that I should work more here.
— Dmitry Barinov said that after talking with Karpin he changed his diet and lost a few pounds. Are you going to ask Valery Georgievich for advice on what to do to gain muscle mass?
— If such a conversation takes place, I will be happy to listen to the head coach’s opinion. You need to gain 100% muscle to withstand the fight during the match. Now I am trying to work more in the gym, “Batrakov told RB Sport.
