The head coach of the "Dinamo" team, Valery Karpin, commented to "Match TV" after the match against "Rostov". This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, the first victory was hard-fought and emotional. The game was also complicated.
The heat negatively affected both "Rostov" and "Dinamo" players. Additionally, injuries posed a problem.
Due to the lack of defenders, Kutiyskiy, Zaydenzal, and Skopintsev had to remain on the field until the end of the game. Cup matches are always challenging.
After Fernandes got injured, Skopintsev came on early and was active on the left flank. Unfortunately, the opposing team showed more activity in front of the goal.
In the first 15 minutes and at the beginning of the second half, goalkeeper Lunyev saved the team twice. However, the opposing team did not create any clear dangerous situations.
Kaseres is considered the best player due to his effective actions in today's and previous matches. He was given personal tasks in the first half.
In the second half, he focused more on defense, as the score was 1:0 and "Rostov" played with a long ball tactic. The team had to fight against the opponent's tall and strong forwards.
In the first two matches, the "Dinamo" players seem not fully prepared, their physical condition appears somewhat sluggish. However, the coach does not share this opinion.
The team is operating at high intensity, and the number of sprints is higher compared to previous matches. Additionally, the statistics also indicate that the team's physical condition is good.
The most pleasing thing was the victory itself. Nothing else stood out in the game.
