Sennikov told which of the leaders of the championship Lokomotiv Pinyaev reminded him of

Former defender of Lokomotiv Dmitry Sennikov assessed the prospects of striker Sergei Pinyaev to gain a foothold in the team after a successful performance in matches for the national team.

Previously, Pinyaev in the Russian national team scored his debut goal at the age of 18. It happened in the match against Iraq (2:0).

– Sergey reminds young Sychev. Or even more than Marat Izmailov, probably. Marat also got into the national team early. The main thing is to continue in the same spirit. When the clubs adapt to him, and the defenders know how to play against him, they will need to add, rebuild. Pinyaev is a good fellow both in the game for Lokomotiv and for the national team. Plays with such courage. A young guy, he has emotions, he wants to play, to prove. Therefore, we must continue in the same vein,” Sennikov told Metaratings.ru.

This season, Pinyaev has played 21 matches in all competitions, scoring five goals and scoring three assists.
