Kolyvanov: “I expect a bright match from Dynamo and CSKA. Opponents deserve each other”

Former Dynamo striker Igor Kolyvanov said that he expects the White-Blues and CSKA to score a successful match in the fifth round of the Russian Championship.

The meeting will take place on Saturday at the Dynamo stadium and will start at 15:00. Watch the live broadcast of the game starting at 14:55 on the MATCH PREMIER channel, as well as on the websites sportbox.ru and matchtv.ru.

— CSKA and Dynamo are very similar teams. Both play attacking football, there are a lot of young people, bright teams, uncompromising, they try to play openly. There are good fast players in the roster who can dribble and pass, come up with something non-standard. So I’m waiting for a very bright match, so that there are more goals. Rivals deserve each other.

In the first rounds, it was clear that Dynamo had problems, they conceded a lot, children’s mistakes in defense. The army team is much more stable in this regard, but in the last games the Dynamo corrected the situation.

What do you see as the reason for this? Did Marcel Lichka find the right approach?

– In any case, with such potential, with such players, sooner or later all these qualities should have manifested themselves. At the training camp at Dynamo, everything was great, and then the decline began. Although, perhaps, it would not exist if they did not “bring” themselves. As with the same Krasnodar. Then they stopped playing with the Wings in the second half. Now they are slowly coming into their own. Although CSKA is more stable. Only Fakel lost in the Cup, but it happens …

– Another muddy story with the departure of Zakharyan can somehow affect this meeting?

– And with Zakharyan, it seems, this muddy story has been going on for the last two years … Now he is in Chelsea, then in the Netherlands, then in Italy, then in Spain. It seems that he has already left, but now he is preparing for the game with CSKA. But, apparently, they can’t let him go without this match! But seriously, if he comes out in this match, then you need to forget about it all and give yourself on the field, – Kolyvanov is quoted by RB Sport.
