Kaliningrad Baltic head coach Andrey Talalaev appreciated the changes in Dynamo Moscow following the appointment of Valeria Karpina. This is what Talalaev noted on the eve of his team’s match against the Blue and White in the first round of the Russian Premier League: The team has become much more compact. The PM played itself, but gave the opponent something to play for. Valery Georgievich has a slightly different team. The quality of the lineup has also improved, as Glebov, Osipenko, and Sergeev are stars of the Russian championship. And the standard layouts—in this Dynamo squad—have been greatly enhanced, both in defense and attack. The Dynamo-Baltic match will be the first match of the 2025/26 Russian Premier League season. Karpin took over as manager of the Blue and White on June 13, signing a contract until 2028.Source link
