MOSCOW, September 27, Andrey Mikhailov. Head coach of the Moscow » Dynamo Marcel Licka knows more about the club’s players than they know about themselves, said goalkeeper of the capital club Anton Shunin.
Licka took over Dynamo in June 2023. The 45-year-old Czech specialist signed a contract with the club for the 2023/24 season with the possibility of extension for the 2024/25 and 2025/26 seasons if certain conditions are met.
“»The day after Lichka arrived, he already knew all the players by name and surname. Young guys, about five to seven of them can come at a time, he knows them all, their weak and strong points, names and surnames. On the one hand, it seems that he is a coach and should know this, but on the other hand, there were situations when coaches began to get confused — positions, names. You understand that they called a player and don’t know anything about him. But Lichka knows more than a player about himself,” Shunin said in the Russian Football program on the Rossiya 24 TV channel.

«»A person knows at least four languages. The theories that he carries out, he speaks all languages - he periodically switches from Russian into English, from English into French. This already shows that he is a literate and intelligent person. At the moment it seemed to me that he looked like a calm person — he almost didn’t swear, didn’t shout. But there was a moment when he exploded and, it seems to me , it could be heard from the fourth floor to the first. Then I realized that this is an emotional coach. He can explode and shake the team,” added the coach.
