Valery Novikov, former goalkeeper of CSKA and the USSR national team, shared his expectations for the army team’s match against Orenburg in the 6th round of the Russian Premier League (RPL). He told socialbites.ca that despite his foreign status, the match will be difficult for the red-dark blues.
“No matter who you play with, there is no easy match. The match will not be easy, but I hope CSKA will achieve the result they want. After losing to Dynamo in the last round, you need to pull yourself together. In any case, the match will not pass.
I know for myself that when a new coach arrives, the players are trying to prove that they are all qualified players and that they can work under the guidance of a new coach. So the match will be contentious, ”Novikov said confidently.
Orenburg will host CSKA on Friday, August 25. The match will start at 17.30 Moscow time. After five laps, Orenburg closed the RPL standings by just one point. CSKA is in fifth place with nine points. In the previous round, the Red-Blues had lost to the capital’s “Dynamo” team with a score of 1-2.
