Former midfielder Igor Korneev expressed his thoughts on the match between Moscow's Dynamo and Kaliningrad's Baltika in the first round of the 2025/2026 Russian Premier League season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
This match will open the new season and will take place on July 18, Friday, at the VTB Arena stadium. The start time of the game is set for 20:30 Moscow time.
Korneev emphasized that coach Talalaev prepares the teams well not only physically but also mentally. He mentioned that there could be unexpected results in the first round, stressing that the game will not be easy for anyone.
The Dynamo team has been led by coach Valery Karpin since June. He is simultaneously managing the club and the Russian national team.
