The head coach of Dynamo, Rolan Gusev, on the air of Match Premier, shared his expectations from the match with Rubin.
— How is the team feeling, and what's their mentality going into this match?
— Our mood is good – both the coaching staff and the team. We've worked on our mistakes after the disappointing performance in Nizhny Novgorod. We'll see how we react. We have a clear understanding of where we're headed. We understand how we can beat our opponents.
— Ngamaleu, Maouhoub, and Lunev are out today. What can you say about them?
— Maouhoub is injured, Moumi is ill, and Lunev is recovering. He'll be back soon.
— Can we say that the team is currently preparing for the Cup game in Krasnodar through the league matches?
— Probably, it's more the media that's pushing us into the Cup. We have three more games to go, and we're preparing for each match. If we prepare for the Cup, we might not be able to hit the mark here or there. We have a specific opponent we're preparing for. Right now, all our thoughts are on Rubin.
— Rubin is without Daku today. How much does that make your job easier today?
— They have a specific game plan that they stick to. They probably know better how Daku's absence affects them. We're preparing for the team as a whole.
