Dynamo Moscow head coach Valery Karpin shared his expectations for the Russian Championship match with Krasnodar.
— How emotionally difficult will this game be for you, given that Krasnodar suffered two home defeats in a row?
— This definitely does not simplify our task, but rather complicates it. Krasnodar will be determined after two defeats, but this is football.
— How can Dynamo outperform its opponent?
— You can say anything, but you have to show everything on the field. It is clear that Krasnodar analyzed us, we analyzed them, but what happens on the field depends only on the players.
— What about the key players – Maxim Osipenko and Bitello?
— Roberto Fernandez and El-Mehdi Maouhoub are not here also. We don't have eight players who could play in the starting lineup. Four of them – Tyukavin, Chavez, Majstorovic and Artur – have been injured for a long time, the rest have minor injuries, but they were not ready for today's match.
