Dinamo Coach Bryansky: No Excuses, We Aimed for Victory

The head coach of Moscow’s Dynamo, **[Konstantin Bryanskiy](https://www.sports.ru/tags/33499-konstantin-bryanskij/)**, shared his thoughts on the outcome of the men’s Supercup-2025 semifinal match against Novosibirsk’s Lokomotiv. The game concluded with a score of 3:1 (21:25, 25:20, 25:13, 30:28) in favor of the Novosibirsk team.

«It was a mirror match. What we executed in the first set, Lokomotiv replicated in the second. Our spikers faced a significant challenge; we needed to break through Lokomotiv’s block.

How important was it to win? That’s an odd question; what does ‘how important’ mean? Of course, winning is crucial. On a broader level, perhaps the championship holds more significance, but I wouldn’t phrase it that way. We approach every game with the mindset of winning. I won’t make excuses about focusing on the national championship. That would be dishonest. We came here aiming for victory, no doubt about it.

Each cup and every matchup matters to us; our players are eager to win. Even though we lost our rhythm at a certain point and struggled, the team continued to fight. We were just a bit short of taking that set—who knows how the match might have turned out otherwise. However, it’s pointless to dwell on that now; Lokomotiv won and moved forward,» Bryanskiy stated, as reported by Championat correspondent Rustam Imamov.
