The head coach of Dynamo, Rolan Gusev, on Match TV, shared his expectations from the match with Lokomotiv.
— After the match with Rubin, you said that the team heard you. What did your players hear before the derby with Lokomotiv?
— They hear something all the time, both after good matches and after bad ones. The main thing is their reaction. We know both the strengths and weaknesses of Lokomotiv, and we will try to use them.
— In the last match you tried a scheme with three central defenders. Why did you decide to use two today? And who will play on the left?
— Milan will play on the left. We decided to return to our traditional scheme. During the match we will see what adjustments need to be made.
— Lokomotiv has a fast, mobile line of attack. Does it affect your preparation?
— Of course, it does, because it is important to take into account the individual characteristics of the players. They have a strong offensive line. We have analyzed each player, we know their strengths. But the game will show everything already.
— Usually football players have a special mood for matches with former teams. Was there no desire to release Anton Miranchuk at the start today?
— There is a desire to put all 23 players, but there are rules of the game. To be honest, I don't dwell on this moment and choose the squad based on the opponent.
