When asked about the positive changes in Dinamo's game, Tochilin said that the main focus is on accumulating points. The quality of the game is improving, as evidenced by the increase in goals scored.
At the same time, he pointed out that there are problems in defense that need to be addressed. These problems include individual mistakes as well as systemic and team errors.
The next game for Dinamo will be against Lokomotiv. Tochilin said that there is no clear favorite in this match, as Lokomotiv is also an undefeated team with high ambitions.
