FC Lokomotiv CEO Vladimir Leonchenko addressed the fans:

- It is a great honor for me to be the head of such a famous club. At Lokomotiv, I once took my first steps in professional football - in 1994, when Lokomotiv won the first medals in Russian history. I perfectly understand and appreciate the traditions of the club, I have great respect for the fans. The club always had the task to achieve the best possible results.

Now all teams have a vacation - the players must gain energy and calmly prepare for the resumption of the season. The situation in the club is stable, all the components of the team's life are functioning normally. Everything is discussed on regular basis, football life continues. Best wishes to Lokomotiv fans.
