Marcel Licka: "I want our team to be a united group."

— I'm very happy that we played to zero, scored two goals, plus we had good counterattacks. In the first half, I didn't like our discipline after losing the ball, there was a lack of finishing back. In the second half, there were situations when we could have decided the outcome of the game earlier, but this is football. After two derbies in a row, I was afraid that there might not be enough emotion, so I emphasized all the time that we must respect the opponent. Akron is a good team that plays its own football, doesn't park the bus. I'm sure they will find their place in the Premier League. — A few days ago you lost big to Spartak, today you confidently won on the road. Should we expect such turbulence throughout the season, or will you fight for the top three?— It's clear that we want to stay on top and fight for the championship. There are 5-6 teams that will compete with each other. I want us to be a united team — we have great players, but if we don't help each other, nothing will work out.Yes, the game against Spartak was not very good. Young guys can't pull off such matches yet, there was a lot of pressure on them. There is a difference when you have 3-4 young players on the field, and when it's 1-2. You saw that today. But young players also need to be given a chance so they get experience in such games.— Was Ivan Lepskiy replaced due to injury?— No, it's just that after 75-80 minutes he starts having cramps. It's hard to say why this happens. Maybe because of the high pressure and concentration. Perhaps he should relax a little, because when you play, you need to have a clear head. For now, it's difficult for him to play full matches until the end, so I put Kutitsky in instead

— «Akron» is still in the making. Did you know what to expect from this team?— I've seen two games of «Akron» this season, I know their leading players. After intercepting the ball, they always quickly move into attack, but they don't always close the zones in the middle of the field well. Therefore, I set up my players so that they quickly pass the center of the field in 2-3 passes, and we managed to carry out quick counterattacks. In the moment with the second goal, just such a vertical attack was successful thanks to the high level of our players.— After the first and especially the second goal, «Dynamo» started playing quite pragmatically. Was there such an instruction for the match, or was it just complacency?— No, not complacency. When you're leading 2-0, you need to try to control the game and not let the opponent run away on attacks. We didn't always succeed in doing this. There were situations in which we made simple mistakes and lost the ball. I didn't like that very much
