Dynamo head coach Marcel Licka in a flash interview with Match Premier TV channel told about his expectations from the meeting with Khimki.
— In the last two matches, Dynamo has pleased the fans with a large number of goals. What can they expect today?
— I would be very pleased if we won today and scored a lot of goals. But we have to be realistic – Khimki, although they are at the bottom of the table, but they have a lot of experienced good players, and they should be higher. I asked my players to respect the opponent and play with the same discipline as in Makhachkala and Nizhny Novgorod. It would be ideal to play for zero. I am sure that we will have scoring chances, and everything will depend on how we implement them.
— Tyukavin and Carrascal did not fly to Samara. How do you assess their condition?
— Everything is fine with them already. On Friday and Saturday they worked in a common group and are ready to play. I decided to leave the same squad that came out in the last round, so Bales will come out from the first minute, and Carra will wait for his chance on the bench.
— Khimki miss a lot from standard positions, and Dynamo scores a lot from them. Can I say that it will be a great help for you?
— Yes, we talked about this in theory yesterday. Standards are an important element in the game, both in defense and in attack. It's good that we are doing well this season, and I would be very happy if we showed it today.
