Dynamo Moscow head coach Valery Karpin answered journalists' questions after the cup match with Krasnodar (0:4).
— What did you expect from this game, releasing such an experimental squad?
— We wanted to look at the nearest reserve, which may still help us, given our injuries. Here, we looked at the nearest reserve.
— Could you formulate 3-4 principles, what kind of game are you aiming for?
— There are many principles. For example, pressure, coming out of defense, but depending on theopponent and with which players.
— But the team creates little and scores little. How do you plan to build the game in attack?
— We score little, but also concede little. For example, in the match against Sochi, we made 28 shots, today we also had more shots than the opponent. But Krasnodar used our mistakes – we gave three assists to our opponent.
— Murad Musayev said that Dynamo lets the opponent play. Maybe his words will somehow encourage you to change the game?
— What do you mean, "lets them play"? The fact that we are not defending at our penalty area? So, Dynamo should not defend in its penalty area. In the opponent's half we pressed, and the opponent's goalkeeper kept knocking out on the flanks or on the forward.
