Rolan Gusev: "Thanks a lot to the guys for today's match"

— The team has been losing important matches to Krasnodar in recent years, does it have a certain complex? What will be the mood for the championship match against him?

— There is no complex either in front of Krasnodar or in front of anyone else. The mood for the next match will be good.

— Could you sum up the spring part of the season after the relegation from the Cup?

— Thanks a lot to the guys for today's match. They have shown that they can play and outplay the champions. The result is probably not for me to sum up. There are club leaders for this. My job is to prepare the team for the next game.

— Have you analyzed how Stanislav Agkatsev behaves at eleven meters?

— We were preparing for the eleven-meter, we punched them after training. It's a lottery, someone can score, someone can miss. It didn't work out for us today.

— What did Dynamo lack to win this game, which was leaning in your favor from time to time?

— Both tactically and physically everything was fine. The only thing is that there were not enough goals scored. There were approaches, we went into the penalty area, but we lacked the last transfer and aggression in the final stage. In the second half, we seized the initiative, and we had to make the most of it.

— What will change in your game on Monday, given that you will be playing at your stadium?

— Something, of course, will change. We must first look at the damage to the players and start from the one who is one hundred percent ready.

— Were Daniil Fomin and Maxim Osipenko replaced due to injuries?

- Osipenko's calf was loaded, and Fomin felt discomfort.

— Bitello takes a good penalty, why did you decide to remove him from the game?

— I understood that a penalty shootout was coming, but the players themselves asked for substitutions. Bitello came over and pointed to the back of his thigh. It was necessary to refresh the game, because we could not squander. Of course, I wouldn't change him or Max if everything was fine.

— Jhon Cordoba scored once on goal. How did you prepare for its neutralization?

— Everyone knows him well. We suggested some nuances to the players, and the guys coped with it perfectly.

— What was your game plan? Was there any thought of playing three central defenders?

— I think we have chosen the right strategy and tactics for this game. The only thing is that we didn't have enough in the final stage.

— From the gate they often knocked forward, where only Tyukavin and Bitello were. What were your tactics, given your lack of tall forwards?

— At first, we didn't get a draw from the gate. We understood that Krasnodar would play high one-on-one, and we could not take any risks. During the break, we corrected the way we had to act.
