Ahead of the game against Akhmat Diego Laxalt gave interview to the Dynamo press service where he talked about his wedding and the level of Russian football.

— This winter you got married? How was the wedding?

— It was a special day for me that I will remember. There was summer in Uruguay, but due to COVID restrictions we invited only closest relatives and friends. We didn't want to organize a big event, but still my wife Antonella, daughter Julieta and I enjoyed every moment of that day.

— Which famous people attended your wedding? Varela?

— Yes, Guillermo was there. Unfortunately, because of the date and all other circumstances other players, who we could have invited, weren't able to attend our wedding.

— What can you say about the level of football in Russia?

— The level is pretty good. Frankly speaking, when I went to RPL I though it would be easier here. In Russia, they can play at a very competitive level.

— In the second official game you had to play on artificial pitch. Was that your first such experience?

— No, I played on such pitches before several times. But each time it's not easy because we train on natural pitch and it is a real problem to readjust for only one match.

— Journalists often say that it's harder for Dynamo to earn points in the spring part of the season. Do you agree?

— We are talking about the second half of the season. In the first half one loss is not critical because there are a lot of matches ahead, but now value of points is rising with every match. And it is not only in Russia, everywhere.
