Lokomotiv forward Rakov said he looked up to Farfan’s game

Lokomotiv striker Vadim Rakov spoke about his idols in football.

Last season, the 18-year-old player played nine games in the WORLD RPL and scored an assist.

Who was your idol and why?

– From Russian football, I would like to single out two brothers – Anton and Lesha Miranchukov. Lekha went abroad, but Antokha stayed – now I play with him in the same team. I always liked his technique, the way he handles the ball. I wanted to always be like him, now we train together, he gives me a lot of advice and helps me.

And if you take world football – Neymar. He has impeccable technique and he is simply a top player. I would like to look up to him and sometime in the future also go abroad and show my best side.

I would also mention Jefferson Farfan. He was very fast, sharp, well equipped physically. Looked at him, too, and equaled. I especially liked his game in the championship season – he scored quite a lot and pleased everyone who supports and follows Lokomotiv, ”Sport24 quotes Rakov.
