Dynamo Moscow head coach Rolan Gusev answered journalists' questions after the match with Orenburg (3:3).
— Ivan Sergeev paired up with Konstantin Tyukavin to unload him a little before the match with Krasnodar?
— No, we did not start from the match with Krasnodar, we just initially planned to play according to the 4-4-2 scheme.
— Everything was fine with the attack today, tell me what happened with the defense?
— The match lasts 90+ minutes, not 40. We believed in our victory very early on. We can score three or five goals, but if we play like that defensively… This is my responsibility and that of the entire coaching staff. It will be necessary to analyze why this happened and work on the errors.
— Out of five substitutions, four were made in the offensive line. Why did you make such a decision?
— Some substitutions were made in order to protect the players in front of Krasnodar, the same Moumi. We had to win this match, so fresh attacking players came on the field.
— Given the difficult nature of the match, did your substitution plan change at all? Did the leading players play more than you planned?
— I planned to replace Tyukavin, but he's a player who can decide the outcome of the match at any moment, so I left him on the field. Otherwise, I made the substitutions I planned.
— What are you more dissatisfied with: the failure to win or the sloppy defensive performance and conceding three goals?
— I'm generally dissatisfied with the result and our defensive performance.
— You aren't afraid to start young players. In the crucial game against Krasnodar, should we expect Marinkin to be a starter?
— Regarding the young players, we see their qualities both in training and in games. Marinkin has been coming off the bench well, and now he's doing well as a starter. We see their potential and want to give them a chance to prove themselves. As for the game against Krasnodar, we'll think about it. In any case, I'm counting on these players.
