Head coach of Moscow Dynamo Valery Karpin answered journalists’ questions after the match with Makhachkala Dynamo (0:1).
— Did Dynamo Makhachkala surprise you in any way?
— They didn’t surprise us, they always play like that. We knew that there would be such a game.
— It seemed that there was a lot of confusion on your part regarding the team’s attacking actions.
— There were moments of confusion.
— What was the mistake in the moment with the missed goal?
— One player didn’t return to the line, although even at half-time we showed the moment when it was necessary to return. But football consists of mistakes, so it’s not worth blaming someone alone, I am to blame, after all.
— Are only two substitutions related to the fact that it was difficult to get into such a game?
— Yes, the game was difficult, and there was no one to replace him with.
— What was the reason for Anton Miranchuk’s substitution?
— It was more related to the yellow card than to fatigue, although that was present too.
— His game didn't go very well today. How is his adaptation going overall?
— The adaptation is going well. It's not him who didn't go well today, but the whole team. It's not about him.
— What are Kurban Rasulov's prospects for getting into the main team? Is there a chance that it will happen this season?
— He works, if he's better than others, he'll play. There's always a chance.
— Moumi Ngamaleu was in the application today, but he never appeared on the field. Do you consider him a potential starting player?
— He started four of the seven rounds, plus the Cup, so he's definitely played 5-6 matches. As a potential player, yes.
