Valery Novikov, former goalkeeper of CSKA and the USSR national team, shared his expectations from the Russian Super Cup match to be played between the army team and Zenit. He expressed his hope that the participation of the match, which attracted great interest from the fans, would be high.
“I hope the intensity of the game is very good – after all, the Super Cup, there are two teams that finished first and second in the RPL, and CSKA also won the Cup. People missed good football and I think the turnout will be very high.
I don’t want to make any predictions, but I have no doubt that the match will be competitive. And who will win, the game will show. I hope CSKA will be lucky but the match will be difficult for both teams. See you the next day,” Novikov told socialbites.ca.
The match between Zenit and CSKA to be played on Saturday, July 15th in Kazan will start at 17:00 Moscow time. Competitors will be judged by Sergey Karasev.
