Sandro Schwarz: Two consecutive goals will give Makarov more confidence

# Sandro Schwarz

Dynamo Head Coach answered journalists' questions after the match against Ufa (2:0).

— Today there was an unusual match which contained two red cards shown to Ufa players in the first half. It's not easy to break down such an organized defense when the rival plays close to its goal. We had good episodes in the game. Sometimes we lacked the tempo during decision-making. If we had scored the second goal earlier, the match would have been easier. We are glad to score twice. We won and dealt well with the rival's set-pieces.

— What can you say about Sebastian Szymanski's injury?

— We need to wait for a full medical examination, but at first glance everything does not look very good. Sebastian is suffering pain in his ankle.

— Your team played against nine Ufa footballers, but scored only once. Is it the merit of the opponent or Dynamo lack of finishing?

— We managed to score two goals having the man advantage. It is worth of remark that it is not easy to break down the defense of a team which keeps a lot of players behind. In addition, we knew that Ufa were very well organized and played well in defense.

— Apart from the forced substitution, you kept the starting lineup almost until the end of the match. What was the reason for this?

— We didn't feel any need of making tactical changes. The players of the attacking group created good chances, so we decided to make substitutions closer to the end of the match.

— Denis Makarov scores in the second consecutive match. Does it mean that he fully understood your requirements?

— Denis joined the team already during the season, so he needed time to absorb all our game principles and ideas. Of course, these two goals will give him more confidence. He scored very important goals. Now he needs to keep working hard and try to get better every day.
