Dynamo have won two games in a row in the RPL, after ending a run of three defeats, what can you say about them as a club?
Dynamo are one of the main challengers for the title and are a good quality team. As for points won, points lost... All teams win and lose now and again. The team that is most consistent, wins it.
Zenit and Dynamo are both still in the Cup, and with such a busy fixture list what are both sides most important feature?
Now the availability and fitness of the players is very important. The fixture list is very full and this is of great importance.
We’ve seen a lot of rotation in recent games, who’s available for Sunday's match?
Let's see. There are players whose available is not certain, but I hope Douglas Santos and Ilzat Akhmetov will be in our squad. Closer to the match we'll look at the condition of the players. Today is our first training session for those who played on Wednesday.
There were a lot of negatives in Wednesday’s Rubin game, is Sunday’s game a chance to rebuild and start again?
Matches like this happen sometimes, no matter the fixture list. Once a season a match likes this happens, when the team that controlled the game loses, and aren’t the team that scores. This is football and that's why it's interesting. Now our task is to prepare for every match and do everything possible to play to our best.
You know Dynamo’s style of play well and you’ve met a few times this season. Will we see an open, attacking game of football on Sunday?
It’s difficult to imagine what the game will be like. Dynamo can both defend and attack well and our side has similar qualities. We’ll see what the match is like, but let's hope that the match will be entertaining, we will try to do everything to get the win in Moscow.
Dynamo are quite far behind Zenit in the league, but are still in the Cup. Should we expect Dynamo to rotate to save players for the Cup?
I don't think so, yes there is a gap, but it’s only two wins difference, not an insurmountable amount. I think Dynamo are a contender for winning the league, just like us and Krasnodar.
