A gesture of respect: Barinov refused to be in a group photo, but he applauded the “Lokomotiv” team. Barinov didn’t want to be photographed with the players of Lokomotiv. The club’s representatives tried to include the former captain in a traditional team photo, with a fan section in the background. But Dmitri made a careful decision to refuse to be in such a posed photo. Instead, he gave his heartfelt applause to the players he had played with for many years in Cherkizovo. He knew firsthand how much those players contributed to the team’s bronze medals in the RPL. This act is a example of sportsmanship. Barinov showed deep respect for both CSKA, for whom he now represents the team, and his hometown team, Lokomotiv. In modern football, where emotions often take precedence over professionalism, such a gesture shows true professionalism and human qualities of a player. It would have been impossible to act differently in such a situation.
