Anisimov: Coach said we were the best this season
Forward of the Lokomotiv youth squad Denis Anisimov spilled the beans on the 3:1 victory over Mordovia during Gameweek 30 of Russian Championship, and about winning the title-race.
«Emotionally, I feel great! It is my first champion’s title! Halfway through the season we sat in midtable - and pulled off such a comeback. Frankly speaking, at the training camp no one even dreamed of winning the tournament. All we wanted was to start clicking as a team. Then we started winning games so we thought: but hey, why not?
When the fulltime whistle went off, we were too exhausted to celebrate. When the crowd of fans rushed out onto the pitch, the team were even taken aback slightly, but it provided the needed boost. I'm so glad they showed us such support! Afterwards we heard words of acknowledgement from the coach, who said we were the best this season».
