Of course, we can talk about travels and everything else, but the fact is that we fell into some kind of routine from which we couldn’t break free.
Now there will be a match with "Galatasaray", and we need to show, as our club president said, that "Dynamo" is still alive.
Galatasaray will have a certain advantage since they are currently playing in their league. After all, official matches and friendly matches are different things. But I think we have very good physical training and we will prepare very well for the upcoming match and will strive to achieve a positive result in it,” said Pikhalyonok on the YouTube channel "VDINAMO".
