Tomorrow we have already 2 practices, we start to prepare to Russian Cup Final Four.

The head coach of Dynamo MR Alexander Vasin:

It was friendly game. Before the game and during it I said my players about their targets: don’t look to the scoring table, to fight in every episode, work on their own technical game. But we could not do it nor in 40 minutes neither in 50.
