- Mister, what were you telling your players at the theory class? What’s the atmosphere in the team like after the game against Desna?
- Do you really think I can tell journalists what I told players? AZ are ready for the game against us. They’ve played 7-8 international games and friendlies. People know everything about their opponents in modern football. It’s all about how you get ready.
AZ mostly played their friendlies at home, so the away match against Dynamo will be tough for them as we’re very motivated. We know AZ lineup. They have a lot of talented youngsters, who’ve been playing together for a while already.
We’re also building a young team. Unfortunately not all our players can take part in the game. You know about injured ones. Besides internationals have missed a large part of training process.
- You had four laterals on the field in the game against Desna. Does this situation bother you?
- We didn’t have other options. I’m glad guys understood me. We tried to synchronize our actions on the field. Desna had two chances due to our defenders’ mistakes, but that’s football. I hope our guys will demonstrate decent level tomorrow.
- After the game against Desna you said you need time to build a good team. How many players do you already have you count on?
- I didn’t say we need a lot of time to build a team. Players we have are the best to me. We believe in each other.
- What’s the situation with centre backs like? Is Artem Shabanov ready to play?
- Players, who missed the training camp and many sessions aren’t ready to play yet.
