The head coach of "Dynamo" Marcel Lichka in a flash interview with the TV channel "Match TV" talked about his expectations for the meeting with "Lokomotiv".
— Fedor Smolov did not make it into the starting lineup. How ready is he now?
— Fedya has been training more individually for the last 10 days, but I am confident that he can come on for 20-30 minutes and do his job.
— There's also no Dmitry Skopintsev in the lineup – is this purely a football-related decision?
— I have no conflicts with the players. Today we decided to use Parshivlyuk on the left defense, who played well at the end of last year. There's competition going on. I want to have two players for each position who would fight for a spot on the field. And it's not only Skopintsev and Smolov who are not on the field – Shunin and Fomin are also on the bench, and they are important players for the team. I am sure they will help the team when necessary.
— In the first match, there were no goals and no yellow cards. Will it be different this time?
— Many fans will come today, and I would like to see a good atmosphere at the stadium. I would like to see goals and an absence of cards, so that there is aggressive play within the bounds of fair play on the field.
