Veteran member of the "Dinamo" team Aleksey Petrushin shared his thoughts on midfielder Luis Chaves' injury in an exclusive interview with "Evro-Futbol.ru". Euro-football.ru reported this.
Chaves tore his anterior cruciate ligament during a training camp with the Mexican national team and will be out of the field for at least six months. When asked if this would be a significant loss for "Dinamo", he replied: "This situation can be described as 50-50.
I would prefer another player to play in this position. Chaves sometimes moves a bit heavier, especially in the central area.
The team conceded many goals last season, and that is part of the reason. There is a need for a faster player who can cover more rights in the center." When asked about purchases in the interview, he said: "Karpen will decide this as the head coach.
He may work with the existing players. In my personal opinion, Glebov can perform better and move more in this position than Chaves." In recent weeks, there have been reports in the media about forward Ivan Sergeyev.
There were indications that he was choosing "Dinamo" over "Spartak" and undergoing a medical examination. When asked for his opinion on this, Petrushin said: "This matter is the coach's responsibility.
He will decide which scheme to play and is waiting for Tyukavin's return. Tyukavin's injury is serious, and in such cases, players often cannot return to their previous level.
I am in favor of giving more opportunities to Russian players. I see Sergeyev as a substitute, as Tyukavin's condition is uncertain.
Perhaps they can play together, depending on the scheme." When asked if Ivan Sergeyev is appealing as a forward, he replied: "One can recall a forward named Muller who was in the German national team. He scored many goals, but only one was from outside the penalty area.
The main thing is to place the ball in the net." Regarding Karaskal's move to "Flamengo", he said: "This situation was anticipated. Brazilians want to return to their homeland.
Karaskal played in Russia for a long time, which is understandable. "Dinamo" should be prepared for this.
Bitello may be the same. They earned money and want to return home.
Perhaps they will come back and join again." At the end of the interview, Aleksey Petrushin openly discussed important topics for the team and expressed confidence in the coaches' decisions. According to him, the team must be ready to adapt to new situations, and the health of the players, as well as the team's strategy, is of primary importance. Author: Elena Grigoryevskaya
