Former CSKA Moscow football player Valery Masalitin shared with socialbites.ca his expectations about the army team match that will be played with Ural Yekaterinburg in the Russian Cup RPL Road final.
The fight will take place on April 19, the starting whistle will sound at 19.00 Moscow time.
“I think Ural has already shown that they are playing great both at home and away, both in the spring and in the autumn, it is very uncompromising. Recently there was a game with Zenit, they fought to the end, only the appearance of Sergeyev changed the course of the game.
And so I will say that it will be difficult for CSKA. Ural is a team that has its own style and does not compromise. Moreover, now they go as training partners, first there is the match, then here. The teams know each other, they played in the group, in the championship. Therefore, the opponent can be underestimated – we won there, now we will win again. Mood can affect CSKA. But the army team plays very actively at home, puts pressure, does not allow the opponent to do anything, so if they come out in such a mood and create chances and transform, the game will be good, ”Masalitin said.
It is noteworthy that the “Ural” was led by the former coach of the army club, Viktor Goncharenko. It is also worth noting that on April 15, within the framework of the 23rd week of the Russian Premier League (RPL), the teams played head-to-head in Yekaterinburg, and the victory went to the army team. 2:1. The teams also played each other in the group round of the Russian Cup.
