Dynamo Moscow head coach Valery Karpin shared his expectations for the Russian Championship match with Orenburg.
— What strengths and weaknesses of the opponent did you focus on during the preparation?
— Orenburg usually plays very aggressively and intensively at home, so we paid the most attention to this.
— At the same time, Orenburg has not yet won a single home game this RPL season. What are your plans for this match?
— The plan is to neutralize the strengths of the opponent and use our strengths.
— How much will artificial pitch interfere with your team today?
— It is clear that it is unusual for any team that does not train on an artificial pitch every day. It is different from natural, but it is what it is.
— Konstantin Tyukavin is in reserve today, are you planning to release him as a substitute? And how has your composition changed in general?
— It has changed only on one position – instead of the injured Makarov, Maouhoub will come out. Tyukavin is back, but he has restrictions on playing on artificial pitch. It's not exactly good for him. Let's see how the game will develop.
