Dynamo goalkeeper Andrei Lunev on Match TV commented on the results of the BetBoom Fraternal Cup match against Partizan (3:1) and the signing of Ivan Sergeev.
— Ivan Sergeev was introduced as a Dynamo newcomer. What do you expect from him?
— The result, first of all. He is a very high-quality player who showed himself well both in Zenit and in Krylia. This is a national team player, so we will have healthy competition in the offensive line. In the absence of Konstantin, this is a great help to our line of attack.
— Explain what are Valery Karpin's requirements for the goalkeeper's game?
— Play football, open the lines, try to do it from the bottom, and help to get into quick attacks.
— What went wrong at the moment with the missed ball?
— Probably, the decision-making failed. Dani's player was on the left side, I gave him my right foot, it was possible to turn around and go forward to attack. Or it was possible to give the pass back.
— How hard is it for the team to adapt to Karpin's requirements? They say that they are very different from the requirements of the Licka.
— It's probably not quite correct to compare, but yes, the requirements are different. More discipline has been added to the game plan, and the intensity of the game has increased. There was more pressure, one-on-one games. Everyone on the field should interact and actively offer themselves.
— How much more energy-consuming is this game? How does the team adapt to it?
— Modern football involves pressure and one-on-one play. If we watch the games of the European Cup or the club World Cup, then everyone is playing one-on-one, and this is normal. There is no such thing that one team departs, and the second calmly rolls the ball. Football is very intense and energy-consuming right now, so you need to be very well prepared physically. What we are doing now, in fact, is preparing.
