Dynamo head coach Marcel Licka in a flash interview with Match TV channel told about his expectations from the meeting with Pari NN.
— How pragmatic will Dynamo play today?
— We always try to correct our mistakes from previous games. I was paying attention to the second half of the game with Rostov and our actions in the last 30 meters in the match with Lokomotiv. Today we go out with two attackers who will put pressure on the opponent's defense. Football is a game of mistakes, and they will be. It is very important how we will respond to them. I am sure that we will have a good balance. Nizhny Novgorod attackers work well with the ball, close it – you have to play with them close enough and aggressively.
— For the first time in the RPL match, El-Mehdi Mauhub starts. Why did the choice fall on him?
— I am sure that the three central defenders of the guests may have problems with speed, and Mehdi is a very fast football player who likes to run behind his back. Bales can play well between the lines, so they should have a good bundle. But their main task is to play in the penalty area.
— What do you see as a threat from Pari NN? What has Goncharenko managed to change?
— They continue to play three central defenders: 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1. It is clear that after the change of coach, the motivation of the players and the competition increases, which give a good impetus to the team. So a lot will depend on the mood and how we start the game.
