The head coach of the White-Blues, Marcel Licka, spoke about his expectations for the cup game against Dynamo Makhachkala in a flash interview with Match TV
— How is the team approaching this match?
— This game is important for both teams, since Spartak and we have 6 points each in the table. There will be a serious fight for the first places. The mood will be combative. I warned the guys not to expect a calm game. We are waiting for a confident opponent who uses high pressure and won't sit back. Today there will be a good, tough, manly game.
— Recently, in the match against Akhmat, your team secured victory in the last minutes and spent a lot of energy. How did you deal with rotation?
— We will have rotation, as always in the Cup. At the same time, I don't accept excuses that someone is more tired than others, because football is your job. Yes, we played on Sunday and fought until the last minutes in the heat, it was not easy. But today there is another game in ideal weather.
— Did you make any adjustments compared to the previous match against Makhachkala residents in Moscow?
— We always note our mistakes. We showed these moments to the players, analyzed them. We will try to fix them today
