Former CSKA Moscow football player Valery Masalitin shared his thoughts on the match between the army team and the Soviet Samara Wings as part of the 19th week of the Russian Premier League (RPL).
“I think it’s impossible to call CSKA a favourite. In light of recent games, CSKA is raising its concerns. But CSKA is playing very well at home, aggressively, as the first period has shown. Especially in the first half, they don’t let the opposition come back, they put pressure on it and it’s modern, offensive football. The wings are the same, they have chosen such a development strategy that they too seek happiness at the door of others, do not sit on the defensive and build buses.
I think it will be offensive football. Surely there will be goals. In an interview with socialbites.ca, Masalitin said, “I believe in the victory of CSKA.”
CSKA will play at home against Krylya Sovetov. The starting whistle for the match to be played on 12 March will be blown at 16.30 Moscow time.
After 18 games played in the national championship, CSKA is in fifth place with 29 points. The Samara team is nine points behind the army team and is in 11th place.
