Match with Orenburg will be a test for Lokomotiv, says Byshovets

Russian coach Anatoly Byshovets believes that the match of the 23rd round of the Russian Championship Orenburg – Lokomotiv will be difficult for the Moscow team.

– The match against Orenburg will be a test for Lokomotiv. Orenburg is a well-organized team. She actively plays and has leaders in each of the lines. Lokomotiv will have to solve the difficulties associated with the transition from defense to attack and vice versa. The Orenburgers pose a danger with their ability to quickly switch to an active game in the opponent’s half of the field with saturation of the attack by a group of players. Therefore, leaving for Orenburg will be difficult for Lokomotiv.

On the artificial field, problems with receiving the ball and its control appear: it is not easy to adapt to this. Due to other braking, the load on the joints, ankle and knees increases. And you have to be prepared for this if one of the players has health problems, – Byshovets told the Championship.

Orenburg will host Lokomotiv at home as part of the 23rd round of the WORLD RPL on April 16.

The game starts at 14:00 Moscow time on Sunday. Watch the live broadcast from 13:55 Moscow time on MATCH PREMIER, as well as on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
