“Dynamo is becoming more and more respectable” – Shalimov

Dynamo Moscow looks more and more solid in recent matches, says famous coach Igor Shalimov.

On Wednesday, the “blue and white” beat “Zenith” in the first quarterfinal match of the playoffs of the RPL FONBET Russian Cup. In the RPL, Dynamo last lost in the 9th round match in September.

— Both teams played as the main team, no one took care of the main players. Zenit, of course, missed Wendel; the team, if I’m not mistaken, either made a minimum of shots on target or didn’t hit the target at all.

Dynamo is becoming more and more solid – I mean the balance in the game. That is, we no longer see a situation where counterattacks are missed due to a tilt in the attack, the team becomes more reliable in defense. Tyukavin performed well, and Smolov scored a great goal,” Shalimov told RB Sport.

After 16 rounds of the Russian Championship, Dynamo is in third place in the table with 28 points. Above the “blue and white” are “Krasnodar” (32 points) and “Zenith” (33).
