Season’s Best Moments

Season 2014/15 is over. We are remembering the best moments highlighting them with the great videos from Loko-TV.

WINNING THE RUSSIAN CUP

Lokomotiv’s way to the long-awaited trophy was hard. The Railwaymen beat Ufa on a stadium covered in thick fog, beat Rubin in the hardest game when the coach had to make three forced substitutions, so when Logashov had his nose broken he had to stay in. Later, the over-motivated Gazovik took the Railwaymen to the penalty shootout. And finally, when Lokomotiv thrashed Kuban in overtime, the Russian Cup returned to Bakovka after eight long years .

MAKING IT TO EUROPA LEAGUE

‘Lokomotiv is a big club who have to play in Europe on a regular basis’ - said the skipper Marinato Guilherme after Lokomotiv had won the Russian Cup. The victory over Kuban took Lokomotiv to the Europa League. In the next season our team will try to bring a new trophy to Bakovka. Lokomotiv will start off from the group stage. ‘We’re being patient and are applying for visas’ - says Vitaliy Denisov.

APPOINTMENT OF CHEREVCHENKO

Cherevchenko had to step in immediately after Miodrag Bozovic was fired, and that gave the team momentum. In their first game under Cherevchenko the Railwaymen thrashed Rubin, and just days later they won the Russian Cup. Now Igor is the team manager in his own right, and the fans welcomed the appointment. He will be assisted by the people who brought Lokomotiv fame back in the old days - Oleg Pashinin and Sarkis Oganesyan. Now that they are coaches, they brought the sixth Russian Cup to the Railwaymen’s collection.

PERFORMANCE OF ALEXEY MIRANCHUK

Everybody knew Alexey was extremely talented. He made his debut at the main team two seasons ago, and last year was named the Best Young Player. But in this season the midfielder’s skills reached a new level. Alexey became a regular starter and is enjoying the love of the fans who voted him the MVP in April and May. The call up to the national team was just coming his way.

DERBY VICTORIES

Lokomotiv are a team who have character. We have already mentioned the long way to the Cup. Now it’s the derbies. One of the most spectacular came on November, 2nd, when Dynamo were up 0:2 in the second half but the Railwaymen scored four times in 27 minutes and claimed three points in that game! Besides, there were the victories over Spartak and Torpedo.
