Marcel Licka: "30 points for the 1st round is not bad, we will try to catch up with the leaders" | News of  FC Dynamo Moscow

Dynamo head coach Marcel Licka answered journalists' questions after the match with Pari NN (3:1).

— We played 15 games, and my inner dream was to win at least 10 matches. Unfortunately, one victory was not enough. On the other hand, we scored 30 points, which is also not bad. I am very glad that we won today. We tried to play with two forwards according to the 4-4-2 scheme, although Carrascal had his own task on the field, so they played asymmetrically, and he acted like a "ten". We had good stretches and more passive ones. In the end, they kept the ball, but on the wrong side of the field – at their own goal. Fortunately, we didn't miss and won 3:1. I'm glad for Luis, who made a double and scored a very nice second goal. So let's go for a short break with a smile.

— It was a very good game in the second half. What did you say during the break that the ball started to move quickly, there was a pleasure from the game, everyone was aiming at the goal and a lot turned out?

— I agree with the first 35 minutes of the half, but at the end there were situations when the opponent opened up, and we played back, connecting Niko, Fabi or Igor and creating pressure on our own goal. During the break, he told everyone to continue playing football. The task was this – we start playing through a short pass, we don't look at the result. If we play football, the result will come. And if we think about the result all the time, there will be problems and mistakes.

— Again, after the first goal scored, we conceded very quickly. How to work on concentration in such moments?

— Yes, the opponent reacted quickly to the missed ball. I have to say that I like Boselli, who is very quick with the ball. He entered the penalty area well, he was not afraid. I asked Moumi and Mehdi for the same thing, so that they would not be afraid to go into the penalty area. I said that it is necessary to pull the opponent's players away from the goal and not let them into the center. This is not the first time we have been scored like this. Of course, Boselli played great at speed, and we must give him credit for this beautiful goal.

— Dynamo scored 5 points more in the first round than last season. Scored more than two goals on average per game. What grade would you give the team for the first round?

— I am very glad that we score so many goals, this is a good indicator. I would like us to miss even less. 17 missed is a lot. But this is not only a matter of the line of defense, but of all teamwork. We will try to work, do specific exercises. Two points per game is not bad, but there are three teams whose performance is even better. We must try to catch up with them.

We have three very difficult games left with teams from the bottom of the table, with which there will be a lot of struggle. If we score 39 points before the break, it will be great. Now 12 players are leaving for the national teams, only 11 remain. We will try to prepare the team in the best possible way, despite all the circumstances.
