The Nigerian striker lamented latest Russian Premier League draw against Rubin Kazan and urged his teammates to win the remaining matches of the campaign.
In the latest round of Russian Premier League action, Lokomotiv Moscow drew 0-0 against Rubin Kazan at Lokomotiv stadium. In a closely contested match, where both sides had equal chances, the host team failed to capitalize on their
home advantage after surrendering against a more disciplined team.
In the aftermath of the outcome, Lokomotiv's star striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Victor-Obinna-c36080 has lamented the situation and admitted that they need to win the remaining matches of the ongoing campaign if they are to claim a decent finish.
“We are all frustrated and disappointed with the result but I am sure we have a chance to qualify for a European spot if we win the remaining four games. We need to lift ourselves psychologically if we really want to turn the tables.
“I think if we claimed a point against one of the strongest Russian teams along with Zenit St. Petersburg. It’s a team that plays with beautiful tactics.” The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan player was quoted as saying.
Lokomotiv have been on an abysmal run of form in recent weeks, allowing the trio of Dynamo Moscow, Spartak Moscow and CSKA Moscow to skip past them in the race for the last UEFA Champions League place.
After their latest draw, the Parovozy have slipped down to the fifth spot and trail the second-spot by 4 points. If speculations are to be believed, their star players will leave the Moscow-based club during summer should they
fail to secure a European spot.
Lokomotiv will now be hoping to put an end to their four-game winless streak when they visit Anzhi Makhachkala at Makhachkala stadium this Saturday.
Obinna urged his teammates to work harder for the upcoming tie and assured the fans of claiming all three points against the ambitious Dagestani club.
Asked if Lokomotiv are already thinking about their last game of the season against Spartak Moscow, Obinna revealed that Loko need to take one game at a time and should not think about the forthcoming games.
