Former CSKA Moscow midfielder Alexander Grishin analyzed the season’s performance for the team led by Vladimir Fedotov. He stressed that a full assessment will come only after the Russian Cup final, when the outcome will reveal the true strength and consistency of the army club.
Grishin explained that securing the trophy would mark a very successful campaign for CSKA. He noted that matching Zenit remains challenging due to the presence of a number of high quality foreign players on Zenit’s squad. The distance in quality is significant, but CSKA managed to claim a home victory in the second half of the season. The supporters are hoping for silverware, and a cup triumph would be a powerful statement about the team’s progress.
If CSKA shows more stability next season, St. Petersburg could find a formidable rival in the race for titles, Grishin told Euro-Football.Ru. He also reflected on the league standings, pointing out that CSKA finished the season in second place, finishing ahead of Spartak and Rostov in the final round.
There was another development around Moscow’s teams as reports emerged that Lokomotiv Moscow is considering a move for Spartak midfielder Anton Zinkovsky, a transfer that would add an interesting twist to the Russian football landscape for the upcoming campaign. This potential change could affect how CSKA plans its squad strategy as the league prepares for the next season. (Euro-Football.Ru)
