Dynamo head coach Marcel Licka answered journalists' questions after the winning match against Baltika (3:2).
— The emotions are incredible. In the 90th minute, we were still losing, and within 5 minutes we managed to turn around a very difficult game for us. We believed that we could win here, but we knew it would be a very hard task, as Baltika were fighting for a chance to stay in the RPL. Even an early goal didn't unsettle them; they tried hard and put pressure on us, showing their character. Just like a week ago, we were able to turn the game around, and luck smiled on us, because we were looking for it. We went for a win, and the football god helped us. We will continue to pursue our dream in the remaining two rounds.
— You made only two substitutions. Did you have that much faith in your starting line-up?
— Yes, I believed in the players on the pitch. I had options in my head for changing the game in the midfield, if Diego Laxalt had said he could no longer play. Then I could have fielded Gagnidze or Smolov. But as it was, I really believed in my players, and only in the middle of the half did I bring on Bitello for 25 minutes, because he makes a difference on the pitch.
— When they showed the bench 10 minutes before the end, you were completely calm. Were you that confident you could turn the game around?
— Of course, I wasn't calm, but I knew that the team would definitely be able to create a couple of chances, which we then used. It seems that Moumi has his unique shot now — last weekend Bitello scored after it, and today it flew like a parachute into the far top corner. When you score in the final minutes two rounds in a row, it shows the character of the team, which pleases me very much.
— Did you have any doubts about the success of your team?
— No. The main thing was to step onto the pitch with a clear head and the confidence that you can make a difference in the game. And we managed to do that.
