Dynamo head coach Marcel Licka in a flash interview with Match Premier TV channel told about his expectations from the meeting with Orenburg.
— How did the pause in the national team games affect Dynamo?
— We are used to the fact that 8-9, and sometimes 12 people leave for the national teams. 8-10 people remain at our disposal, as it was now. I am confident in the professionalism of our players, who are already used to this, so it will not have a big impact. Everyone came back healthy, except Fabian Balbuena, so he won't be here today. Everyone else is ready to play.
Today will be a difficult match: Orenburg is fighting for survival, so they will run, fight, and we must be ready for this. We have to play patiently, wait for our chances and realize them.
— Balbuena missed the game with Lokomotiv, today he is also not in the squad. When will it be ready?
— He had an ankle problem in his first game for the national team. It is unclear whether he will be ready for the next round.
— In the last match Carrascal played in the position of the "false nine". What will Dynamo's line of attack look like today?
— We will play without the "nine" – Gladyshev is in his position, Bitello is slightly to the left, Carrascal will act the same as in the game with Lokomotiv.
