Syomin: We lost many tackles

Lokomotiv head coach Yuriy Syomin reflected on the 0:1 loss from Rostov in the Russian Premier League’s Gameweek 8.

- This was a highly competitive game, and we lost many tackles. Loko conceded in a situation when one of the defenders slipped. Perhaps, the Rostov put on pressure and it had its effect. After the break Lokomotiv gained dominance but failed to score, although our side had opportunities for that. If you look at the last three games, I should say we are on a poor run of form in the current championship. The substitution of Corluka? At halftime, we were going to sub off another man, but Vedran suffered some muscle injury
