Lokomotiv and Russian national team midfielder Alexei Batrakov told that at the moment he should not be called a star of the Russian championship and conclusions can be drawn only after this season.
On Saturday, Lokomotiv in the away match of the eighth round of the MIR RPL beat Orenburg with a score of 4:2, 19-year-old Batrakov scored two goals. The footballer became the author of the youngest double of Lokomotiv in the 21st century (19 years and 97 days). In eight matches of the Russian championship, Batrakov has 5 goals and 5 assists, the footballer is the leader of the RPL in the “goal + assist” system. The player’s contract with the club runs until 2027.
— I have said more than once or twice that what is most important to me is not my goals, but the team’s victory. In principle, nothing has changed, I can only repeat it.
— At a press conference, when Mikhail Galaktionov was asked about you, you were called a new Russian star. And he asked not to call you that.
— I want to join in the words of Mikhail Mikhailovich, that’s all. Please don’t call me a star, I agree with him 100%. Yes, I had a certain period of success. I want to show this from a distance, only then I will be able to say something definite. It’s too early to draw conclusions about me.
— “A certain distance” — how much?
“I think one season is the minimum,” Batrakov told .
Lokomotiv scored 18 points and ranks third in the WORLD RPL standings.
