Jokanovic said that Zakharyan was replaced during the match with Khimki due to digestive problems

Dynamo Moscow head coach Slavisha Jokanovich spoke about the reasons for the replacements of defender Roberto Fernandez and midfielder Arsen Zakharyan during the match of the 15th round of the MIR RPL with Khimki near Moscow.

On Saturday, Dynamo defeated Khimki 6-1 at home.

– I must say that we had two forced substitutions. Fernandez left the field due to injury. Zakharyan did not feel very well. New players gave energy, we began to put pressure. It turns out that all the players coming on as a substitute give the team a breath of fresh air. Tyukavin scored, Gladyshev scored twice,” Jokanovic said.

In an interview with reporters, the specialist clarified that Fernandez has problems with the back of the thigh, and Zakharyan has problems with digestion.

– What was your reaction to the penalty that was awarded to you after Sazonov’s foul?

– Of course, I would like to leave the gate intact. But if this happened, then let it happen when the score is 6:0. This is better than a draw. In the next game, we will try to prevent the opponent from hitting our gates, ”Match TV quotes Jokanovic as saying.

Dynamo scored 26 points and took third place in the RPL table.
