The head coach of the blue and white Marcel Licka in a flash interview with Match TV channel told about his expectations from the return cup meeting with Lokomotiv.
— In what mood is the team approaching the cup meeting after the missed victory in Voronezh?
— I think the mood of the team is good, everyone is ready for the game. I have already said that two weeks ago there was only the first half, in which we lost 1-2. But we still have 90 minutes to come out and show quality. I think Loko will have a very hard time with us today.
— There are quite a lot of changes in the lineup compared to the previous match. Why are there not several major players today?
— Mehdi and Kutitskiy have minor injuries, and they worked individually. There was no point in risking them, because I have enough players that I can use. Therefore, Bales will start at the start, Carra will start the game in the middle, and Fomin will remain on the bench. I was preparing for the game very calmly today, because we have good players on the field, and there is a great opportunity to strengthen from the bench.
— You did not take Balbuena and Ngamaleus' to Voronezh. Will they be your secret of success today?
— Gagnidze, who has fallen ill and is resting today, has not yet gone there. The secret is the team spirit and the work of the whole team.
