Pavel Mamaev praises Aleksey Batrakov's maturity after Galatasaray win

Former Russia midfielder Pavel Mamaev praised Aleksey Batrakov after Galatasaray beat Kasımpaşa 3-1. Speaking to Sport-Express, he highlighted the young player's professionalism and willingness to take the initiative.

The match was played in the seventh round of the Turkish league. Batrakov provided an assist as his team won by a two-goal margin.

Mamaev said the Russian midfielder's age did not prevent him from taking responsibility. He described Batrakov as a highly professional player and expressed confidence in his future.

The former international added that Batrakov tries to create chances in every match, even when his ideas do not come off. His latest assist and overall output therefore did not surprise Mamaev.

Batrakov moved from Lokomotiv to Galatasaray in August. According to Sport-Express, he has contributed two assists in six appearances across all competitions.
