There, they played in the BetBoom Dynamo Global Challenge against Chinese Championship runners-up Shanghai Shenhua (2-2, 5-3 on penalties) and Chengdu Rongcheng (1-1, 3-4 on penalties) and finished second in the RPL Winter Cup, losing to CSKA only on goals scored.

He has regained his form and met with Dynamo fans on Thursday at an autograph session in the new Dynamo store in the Aviapark shopping center.

About the opponent
Samara, fighting for survival this season, had a busy winter break. Due to debts, the club initially received a transfer ban, which even prompted a fan fundraising campaign. In February, the debt was finally repaid, and the RFU allowed the registration of new players, and there were quite a few of them.
Krylia Sovetov's roster was strengthened by Argentine defender Gonzalo Requena, Real Madrid academy graduate Dani Fernandez, Zenit-2 captain Kirill Stolbov, and Nigerian striker Geoffrey Chinedu. CSKA Moscow forward Artem Shumansky was also signed on loan. Samara, for its part, ended Adolfo Gaich's loan early and sent Dmitry Ivanisenya and Yegor Karpitsky on loan.
"Considering the club's financial resources, I think the selection process was quite successful. We entered the championship understaffed. This was a problem that had a significant impact at the end of the first half of the season. Now I believe we've balanced the roster and now have competition at the positions. Therefore, we're looking positively in this regard. Now we just need to integrate the newcomers into our game plan," noted Samara head coach Magomed Adiev.
At training camp in Turkey, Krylia Sovetov defeated Chaika (5-3), Chelyabinsk (3-2), Kyrgyzstan's Uzgen (3-0), and Moscow's Torpedo (2-1), losing only to Baltika (0-1) in the final match. All of the team's key attackers — Jeffrey, Vladimir Khubulov, Vladimir Ignatenko, and Amar Rakhmanovich — scored twice each. Another game against KAMAZ was ended early after the first half due to a fight that began after Nikolai Rasskazov butted an opponent in the face.
