"I want to go home"


As you may have read in the previous post, former Lokomotiv captain & legend Dmitry Loskov was released from Saturn, thus meaning that the current holder of the most appearances in the Premier League is currently without a club. Being one of the best playmakers in Russia for the recent 10 years, it's obvious that the number of suitors aint lacking. A host of clubs, in particular Sergey Ovchinnikov's Dynamo Bryansk are toughted that are or were leading the race for the signature of Dmitry. Another rumour was that Loskov may join Lokomotiv-2 Moscow as a player-coach in order to attain the necessary qualifications and experience to join the management of the main squad. To date nothing materialised.

However, despite the whole circus surrounding Loskov, apparently the former number 10 has only one thing, one desire on his mind - that is to go back home. Actually this was his reply when Dmitry was asked about his future. In poor words Loskov wants to go back to Lokomotiv that is his home. Although he is 36 years old, Loskov believes that he has the strength and will to play at the highest level and gives a much needed helping hand to Lokomotiv in the second half of the season. Moreover, the Semin factor is for sure another factor which incline Loskov towards the red-green part of Moscow. But, on top of all, the real factor behind Loskov's wish to return to Lokomotiv is obviously Lokomotiv, its fans and everything which surround the club, that is his home. Actually his desire is so huge that he doesn't care about the financial issues, which is something abnormal given that the majority of players who turn into their 30s start to look at the financial aspects (a fat paycheck) before signing any contract.

Obviously, this shows his love for Lokomotiv, a love which never passed away, even when he wore the blue-white-black colours of Saturn Ramenskoye. Actually, Dmitry conceeded that even thou he was professional in his approach at Saturn, he still rooted for Lokomotiv. Anyways, I dont want to bore you by writing word to word all what Loskov said, but I believe that at least its a must that in addition to the above I disclose the following words, words which he used to end the interview. These were -"The letter 'L' (Lokomotiv) on my chest means a lot for me." You're the best ever man. If only all the players who wear the red-green shirt give their all as you have always did!

Dmitry, your dream is to return to Lokomotiv and our's, or at least mine is that you realise your dream - the number 10 is vacant! Bring him back!!
