CSKA Moscow Needs To Stay In Form
CSKA Moscow managed a 4-0 win over Kuban Krasnodar during the weekend. This was the sixth consecutive league victory for the team and it helped them stay only a couple of points behind table leaders Zenit St Petersburg. The opportunity to win the title still remains a distinct possibility for the club, but they need to be extremely compact and well organised in the next match against Rubin Kazan according to the club manager Leonid Slutsky. Zenit St Petersburg have improved massively after the arrival of former Tottenham and Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas.
They have won all of the matches managed by the Portuguese, but Slutsky says that CSKA Moscow should also keep winning matches in order to take advantage of any potential slipups along way. His team remain four points behind table leaders after having played 26 matches up until now. The only defeat for the team in the last five matches came against Krasnodar in the cup. Slutsky has stated that CSKA Moscow will receive a major boost with the return of Ahmed Musa and Rasmus Elm for the match against Rubin Kazan. They were unavailable for the 4-0 thrashing during the weekend.
Only the top two teams will be able to play in the Champions League which is also important for Russian clubs.
“We’re not working out any long-range plans or strategies. We try to focus on our every single match to get as many points as possible, expecting also for slip-ups by the league leaders. I hope that Nigerian Ahmed Musa and the Swede Rasmus Elm, who have missed our match at Krasnodar, will be able to strengthen us against Rubin,” said the CSKA Moscow manager. “Our previous match with bottom-placed Anzhi was really hard as they’re are a well-organised and uncompromising team and the home win was their last chance to avoid relegation,” said Villas-Boas about his team’s match.
