The head coach of "Dynamo" Marcel Lichka in a flash interview with the "Match Premier" TV channel spoke about his expectations for the meeting with "Baltika".
— Is there a sense of euphoria in the team after four consecutive wins, or, on the contrary, excessive excitement?
— I don't think there's that much pressure on us. Everyone expects "Zenit" to win the championship, but we can surprise. Of course, with 3 rounds to go and being at the top of the league table, you want everything to work out. I'm confident that the guys will enter the field with a clear head and maximum concentration to play football, not to think about the results of other teams. We will only focus on ourselves.
— Your opponent is quite different from "Baltika" with whom you played in the first round. What can you say about them?
— They have made progress, but they lost too many points in the first round, and now they need to catch up, which is always unpleasant. There's a very tense struggle at the bottom of the league table, so they need a victory too. They have good players in the team, but today the pressure will be on them. We need to use that to our advantage.
— You made several changes compared to the previous round. What are they related to?
— I know Yuri Kovalev well, and I put Dmitry Skopintsev against him, who has high speed. Niko Marichal will help us with set pieces, which the Kaliningrad team is strong at.
