Mikhail Kobyakov: “We didn’t play very effectively in attack”

The head coach of the Dynamo youth team summed up the results of the match with Rubin (2:1).

— Rubin built a fairly tight defense, and we didn’t have many chances, although we had a territorial advantage. That's why we didn't play very effectively in attack. In the first half, we didn’t work very well in insurance, although we knew that Rubin would launch a counterattack. The opponent, in principle, did this. However, unsuccessful actions in our defense led to two goals conceded.

In the second half, we tried to win back and create pressure at the Rubin goal, but, unfortunately, we lacked quality.

There are many girls in our squad who did not receive playing practice last year. They need to gain this practice and increase their skill level. It’s difficult for them to fight against serious opponents, although we try to play constructive football. This is difficult and leads to quite a lot of errors. We need to develop female players, so we are not trying to simplify the game.
