Dynamo head coach Marcel Licka answered journalists' questions after the away match with Akhmat (1:1).
— We arrived, one might say, empty of emotions. After yesterday's matches, we had a good chance to take a step forward – to catch up with Spartak and Lokomotiv – but there was no proper attitude to the game. You can't play football without emotions. Our line of attack gave out a fatal game: the balls were quickly lost, it was not possible to beat one-on-one, they did not finish in defense.
— The game in the second half was very different from the game in the first half. What did you say to the team during the break?
— I don't think there was a big difference. We didn't play well in both halves. I emphasized that when leaving the defense, our attacking players did not run behind the defenders, but stood and waited for the ball. When they received it, losses immediately followed. So I gave them another 15 minutes in the second half, after which I made a triple substitution.
— Can we say that the last minutes began to bring Dynamo good luck again?
— A week ago, Fakel scored for us in the 99th minute, today we scored in the 95th. I would rather win one match and lose the other, because that way we would have one point more. I don't really like to talk about luck or bad luck. Lucky for those who try and work. For example, Leshchuk had a good game, played great with his feet, acted confidently. We told him to go ahead, because it didn't matter if he lost 0:1 or 0:2. He went to the penalty area, wasn't afraid to go to the fight, and luck smiled on him – he saved the team.
