– I think that we did not get points in this and in the previous rounds. What is the reason? A lot of them. There are also purely sporting aspects that are directly related to the team’s game and the coaching staff. We have a lot of positive moments in the game, which allow us to count on more.
However, there are also things that all of us in Russian football will have to work hard to change, – Leonchenko is quoted by RB Sport.
Lokomotiv is 10th in the RPL standings with 2 points, Rostov (2) is in 11th place. In the third round, Lokomotiv will play away with Zenit on July 30, and Rostov will host Khimki the next day.
