Dynamo head coach Marcel Licka in a flash interview with Match Premier TV channel told about his expectations from the meeting with Rubin.
— What is the state of the team after the break for the national team games?
— It is clear that this is always a specific period for us, because I had only nine players left at my disposal. It's okay, because all the players who were in the national teams got playing time. I am sure that today we will show a good level of fighting and attitude to the game. We are waiting for a simpler game today because of the poor condition of the field.
— The game will be played on a neutral field. Does this give an advantage to your team?
— Nothing changes for us – we play away, so it's more of a Kazan problem.
— In what combination will the line of defense come out today?
— All the players in the defensive line know their tasks and what they have to do on the field. It is clear that it is one thing to explain everything on theory, and another to implement on the field. I am sure that everything will turn out much better than in the game with CSKA.
— Diego Laxalt is missing today. How will you make up for his loss?
— Unfortunately, Diego was injured in training on Thursday. We have Fomin, Chavez, Gagnidze, Bitello, Carrascal – so I am sure that everything will be fine in the center of the field, and each of them will show his best side. Luis is already feeling well, and it's good that he didn't fly to the national team and worked with the remaining players here. Physically, he's doing well.
