- We are expecting a very difficult match. We carried out a deep analysis of the opponent, a team with a serious selection of players, who recently won the Georgian Super Cup. But at the same time, we play at home, which could be a great advantage. Therefore, tomorrow we will do our best to win our opponents. The chances are equal, but because we are playing at home, we must win. I would say that Dinamo has a very strong team, and we must be very careful.
- Are there any injuries in the team?
- 6 days have passed since our last match against Ordabasy. The team has almost recovered, and can do its best.
- The team had a long unbeaten streak until the last match. Can we say that Astana is at its peak?
- We prepared the team psychologically and mentally. We must remain calm. We hope that tomorrow we will have a balance between attack and defense. The most important thing is not to lose our head.
- People say that newcomer Stepan Loncar has already joined Astana?
- I can't say anything about the that. I have not seen him yet, I know that he was training with Ferencváros. Hope he arrives in good condition. The important thing is that he adapts quickly, but it's not a question for tomorrow.
- Do you use any Stanimir Stoilov's notes in preparation for matches?
- Notes? No (laughs). We have now analyzed the opponent: we have seen their strengths and weaknesses. Of course, Stanimir has done a lot, and Astana is very fond of him.
- Alexander Zarutsky had a great match against Ordabasy. In what way he is better than Condric?
- The chances are equal. I am not in favor of naming the squad the day before the match. We'll see tomorrow.
- You are not afraid of underestimation of the opponent by the players?
- Underestimation is unacceptable. We conducted a theory, the players saw the strengths of the opponent. All players are eager to win.
