Team status
At the start of the tournament, Dynamo lost to Krasnodar with a minimum score, not realizing a large number of scoring chances, including hitting the bars of El-Mehdi Mauhub and Yaroslav Gladyshev. One of the most striking episodes of the match was the mess after a gross foul by Vitor Tormena on Denis Bokov.
— When I saw this moment from the bench, I thought he had broken his Side leg, – said Marcel Licka. – I also behaved incorrectly, because Tormen wanted to apologize, and I pushed him. I should have behaved differently, but I was defending my player at that moment. When I saw that he was all right, I exhaled.
The meeting was missed by Diego Laxalt, Luis Chavez, Bitello and Arthur Gomez, whom the coaching staff decided to save. Milan Majstorovic, who is completing the recovery process after surgery, will not take part in the games at the second training camp.
In order to take first place in the group, Dynamo must beat Spartak with a difference of two goals or more.

About the opponent
Red and white in the first match of the Winter Cup in the end snatched victory from Krasnodar – 3:2. Goals were scored by Teo Bongonda, Roman Zobnin and Daniil Zorin. After that, Spartak managed to defeat Astana with a score of 4:1 thanks to accurate strikes by Daniil Khlusevich, Nikita Chernov, Jesus Medina and Zorin, while Anton Zinkovsky scored an assistant hat-trick.
— The first 20 minutes were great, we played great. We finished the first half well too. But at the beginning of the second half there was an eclipse," admitted Dejan Stankovic after the game with Krasnodar. – The original plan was to give those who started at the start 60 minutes of playing time, but I even shortened this time, they played 55 minutes. The guys who came out later played great, but this is just the beginning.
In winter, Spartak has a new sports director. They became 55-year—old Spanish specialist Francis Cahigao, a pupil of Arsenal, who later worked for 23 years in the selection department of Londoners. He started with the cleaning of the squad – the red and white have already terminated contracts with 4 players: Alexander Selikhov, Tomas Tavares, Shamar Nicholson and Willian Jose.
There are a lot of rumors going around about who should join the team, but so far only goalkeeper Ilya Pomazun has joined it. The 28-year-old CSKA graduate, who had been on loan for Ural for five years, finally decided to change the club and will now compete with Alexander Maksimenko.
