Dynamo head coach Marcel Licka in a flash interview with Match Premier TV channel told about his expectations from the meeting with Fakel.
— You said that you would have 48 hours to assemble the squad for the match with Fakel. Are you happy with this job?
— I understood in advance that the situation would be like this. I must say that Carrascal and Marichal arrived on Saturday night, got some sleep and immediately went with us to the game. It is necessary to accept such things calmly.
— Who will play in the center of defense?
— Kutya will play in the center with Niko Marichal, and Robbie will remain on the left flank.
— Tyukavin rarely starts matches in reserve. What is the reason that Mauhub will be in the center of the attack?
— Mehdi has shown himself very well in the last two games. Plus, it's a choice for the opponent's defenders: Mehdi can run great behind their backs at speed. We should not forget that we have a game with Lokomotiv on Thursday and with Akhmat on Monday, and Bales got game practice in the second match of the Russian national team.
— Gladyshev will appear from the first minutes. Did you remember that a year ago he scored a beautiful ball to Torch?
— Ngamaleu flew around Africa for two weeks, got a minor injury, so I left him in Moscow. Gladi can give the team a lot if he is confident in himself and is set up for an aggressive game. He has speed, a very good left foot.
