2024-02-12 16:48:21

Head coach of the blue and white Marcel Licka commented on the victory in the final match at the second VTB training camp over the Austrian St. Pölten (3:1).

— Today was the team’s best match at these winter training camps?

— I wouldn’t like to single out just one match. In the same meeting with Orenburg, the young guys played very disciplined, but today the experienced squad showed themselves. I’m very glad that Diego Laxalt can already play more than half and spent 60 minutes on the field today. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to keep a clean sheet from behind, but our players showed good play with the ball – they weren’t in a hurry to attack, handled the ball competently, and rested with it. I liked this.

— The team will go to the third training camp in full force. Will the young players stay too?

— Niko Marichal will join us, Slava Grulev will work in the general group, and young guys will also go with us. It’s good that the second team works nearby, and we can always change players. For example, today three of our football players received playing practice at Dynamo-2.

— Tomorrow the team will return to Moscow and following a couple of days of rest will go to the final training camp. What will be the emphasis on it?

— There we will already work in a normal weekly cycle, as during the season. It is clear that we will practice standards and hone the automaticity of interactions on the field. And so, the team is already well prepared. Unfortunately, the pause in the championship is very long. We can say that we might play an official match this week.
