The head coach of Dynamo Marcel Licka, in a flash interview with Match TV channel, spoke about his expectations for the meeting with Krylia Sovetov
— What game are you looking forward to today from the first minutes?
— I'm sure we will have a good attitude and approach to the game. Unfortunately, we lost to Zenit, but at the same time, we showed character on the field and tried to pressure our opponents. It was a difficult game in the Cup, and the young guys also tried hard, applying high pressure. So, we have a positive attitude. The opponent didn't start the season well, but they won their last game at home. I'm confident that they will show quality, attacking football. They have quite fast players up front, so we need to watch out for their quick counterattacks after losing the ball.
— On Wednesday, you entrusted Yaroslav Gladyshev with the captain's armband, praised him after the match, but today he starts the game on the bench. Why?
— Because we have many quality players, and GlaDee played the whole match on Wednesday. I am very happy that he showed that he can become a leader of the team. Today he starts on the bench, but for me, he will be a good weapon that I can use in the second half to make some changes.
— Do you also consider Dmitry Skopintsev, for whom this game could be his 150th for Dynamo, as a secret weapon?
Yes, Oka also played well in the Cup. Diego Laxalt plays in his position today, but we can make adjustments depending on how the match goes
