Sandro Schwarz: At some point it seemed to us that the game was coming easy

— We dominated for 25 minutes. Our team scored a goal and could have scored more, but it didn’t manage to do it. Then we began to play passively and let the threads of the game out of our hands. As a result, we deservedly lost today.

— The team looked good, but it's unclear why Dynamo played in a so academic way. All the time the players were trying to improve the situation. Maybe, was it better to hit the goal more often?

— Sometimes two goals are enough to win a match. Probably, at some point it seemed to us that the game was coming easy, and we started playing inconsistently in defense. We didn't defend well enough. That's the reason for our defeat.

— What is the difference between two Dynamos – in autumn and in spring? Can the team be psychologically not ready to chase the top 3?

— I can't say that there is a big difference between two Dynamos – in autumn and in spring. We just have to learn from such matches. We have always to play as aggressively as in the first 25 minutes of today’s encounter and dominate constantly. We should not lose such matches, even though we were facing a fairly serious opponent today. We understand our position, and this is an important experience for us.

— What was the reason for replacing Fedor Smolov at the beginning of the second half?

— We do not focus on one player, but we talk about the team as a whole unit. We have to analyze this match, and then we will have a training week before the game in Samara.

— Clinton N’Jie successfully came on as a substitute today. Does he have prospects to start in the next match?

— We look at the players’ work during the training process. And after that we decide who will start in the next match.

— How does the injured Daniil Lesovoy feel himself?

— We hope that Lesovoy will join the team in the coming days and start training without restrictions.
