The head coach of Dynamo, Marcel Licka, answered questions during a flash interview after the friendly match against Pari NN (0-0).
— It seemed like a productive match. We created a lot of chances, but couldn't score a goal. How would you rate Dynamo's performance?
— Today's match was a chance for young players who don't play as much and for those guys who have only had 40 minutes of playing time lately. Most of them played the whole match today. I'm glad that the opponent was also active and tried to play football. I think it was a good fight. The match didn't resemble friendly matches where no one wants to get injured and therefore plays at 50%. This is important and shows that the intensity today was not bad.
If we talk about implementation, we could have scored, but unfortunately it didn't work out. We will continue to work on finishing attacks in training and after them individually - I mean situations both before the penalty area and inside it.
— Daniil, Fomin, Aleksandr, Kutitskiy and Milan Majstorovic returned to action after injuries. How do you assess their functional state?
— It's good that Foma and Milan are already with us. Kutya, frankly, had some problems at the beginning of the second half. I immediately asked him if everything was okay. He said yes! It's good that he played 45 minutes. I am sure that he will not come to me tomorrow or the day after with some kind of illness
Glad for this trio. The guys missed the last ten days, you could say even fourteen, and now they've returned to training practice, and today they were able to play 45 minutes.
— Brazilian Arthur made his debut in today's match. Is he ready to play from the first minute?
— It's good that there is a championship in Brazil. He arrived, like Bitello at one time, with playing practice. There are no problems at all there. Of course, upon arrival, he passed medical tests, it was necessary to do various things. For the first time, Arthur trained with us yesterday.
Today I wanted him to go work individually. But he assured me that it would be better for him to play for 45 minutes. I didn't mind because he already had playing practice in Brazil. So he played half-time, ran a little bit, everything is fine
