The head coach of the "Krasnodar" team, Murad Musayev, shared his thoughts after the match against "Dinamo". This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The match was not easy; the opponent tried to control the ball and dominate the game. "Dinamo" played from the back and attacked more through the center.
We chose a risky pressing method. We made some mistakes in the first half, played defensively, but with the help of our quick attackers, we moved well in the spaces.
At the beginning of the game, the score was equal, but we scored a goal, which freed the team a bit. We also made some changes in our pressing.
The new players are not yet at the level of the main squad, but this game provided us with a lot of useful information. I liked the team's approach.
In the previous cup match, we were slow in the first half, but this time we were active from the start. We need to strive for growth in every game.
The players who stayed on the bench also need to prove themselves on the field. I am pleased with everyone's efforts, but there are important games ahead, so we must not relax.
In three days, there will be an important match against "Sochi". Mukailov scored two goals today and showed his potential.
He did not accidentally come to the main team. He also showed himself during the summer training camp, and we are monitoring his performances in the youth team.
He is a good forward, but he still has a lot of work to do. He cannot afford to relax yet.
He should have been taken off the field immediately for giving an interview. He needs to work harder and be humble.
We can see him coming off the bench in the championship. Currently, Jon Cordoba is playing in this position, and he is one of the best players in the championship.
However, Mukailov will train more with the main team and will have opportunities. We played more than 20 minutes without a central forward.
Nikita performed well. There were issues with Kazbek, so we moved Nikita to the attack, and he was active in pressing.
This could also be a new opportunity for us. "Dinamo" is starting the season heavily.
The reason for this may be that the team needs time. The coach is working hard, and the players need a little time to adapt.
I am confident that "Dinamo" will play well and show results. It is just a matter of time.
Last season, we also faced difficulties, but hard work and patience yield results. "Dinamo" will fight for the top positions.
