Marcel Licka: "In such games it is necessary to use even half-moments"

— Dynamo fans will largely evaluate the season based on the remaining games with Zenit and Spartak. Will there be enough strength and emotions to hold these matches at the highest level?

— I believe that's enough. We must not forget that we are playing against Rubin on Sunday, and so far we have more thoughts about this match. They have a very disciplined team and it will cost us a lot to beat them. Then we will have two very big matches with Zenit and Spartak. It will be necessary to get together and concentrate on the maximum. We also had a very important game today, and although we didn't achieve a result, we were a very difficult opponent for CSKA in both games. We need to leave what we are doing well and add in the implementation. In such games it is necessary to use even half-moments.

— CSKA showed almost nothing today, played largely in defense. Did you learn something positive for yourself from this match?

— We don't have enough implementation – we just need to get the goal and not complicate things in some situations. You need to take the pass and try to shoot when there is such an opportunity. Do you remember how Jean-Pierre Papin and Filippo Inzaghi played? They were not very active in playing along, but in the penalty area they hit the ball in one touch more often, and in this they had no equals.

I asked that there be more strong crosses on the ground, because the CSKA have tall defenders. There were two or three good attempts, but, unfortunately, it was not possible to use them. With Nizhny Novgorod we had a very low percentage of shots on target, it was already better today. We will work on this, only through work can victory be achieved. We must go ahead and look for luck. I thanked the guys for today's game. There was a good level of football from both teams. I think that all football fans enjoy such matches.

— According to today's game, it seemed that Danil Glebov has already settled into the team. Has the balance you were talking about already appeared?

— Glebov managed to spend only a few training sessions at the training camp, but then he had a little Achilles problem, and he worked individually for two weeks. When he recovered, it became clear how quickly he grasps our requirements. He reads the game perfectly and has added character to us. He has leadership qualities, and in the locker room he can set up the team. Today he worked fantastically, there are no questions for him. I would also like to mention another newcomer, Juan Caceres. It will be great if they continue in the same spirit.

— In the end Dynamo needed a goal. Why did you release two players to the center, and not Denis Bokov?

— I had a choice – to release either Okishor or Bokov. Vitya has already shown himself, scored in the Orenburg game. I didn't want to change Carrascal, who can always come up with something. I saw that the central midfielders had done a lot of work and were a little tired, so I released Vitya and Diego. I didn't want to change Gladyshev either – in the two years that I've been here, this is probably his best game in terms of duels. How he won the duel against Rocha at the end of the second half! He played well today.
