Masalitin called the positions that need to be strengthened by CSKA in the summer transfer window

Retired player CSKA Valery Masalitin named the positions that the Moscow club must strengthen before the start of the season in the RPL.

— CSKA needs a good striker. If the team continues to play two strikers Chalov and Zabolotny, then another player is needed for this position. No one is immune to injury. I would rely on Yakovlev, even put him in the starting lineup and bench Anton. Vladislav is a talented guy, he needs playing practice. I don’t want him to go on hire and disappear, there are a lot of such examples. Yakovlev must be taken care of. We have to decide what to do with Gaich. Shkurin is on loan somewhere, but it looks like he belongs to CSKA.

You also need to figure out what to do with Carrascal. Why does the team need foreigners who will sit in reserve. If Zainutdinov has good offers and he leaves, then I would consider Makarchuk instead. Everything is calm in the goalkeeper line. High hopes for the defenders: I think CSKA have the best defense in the country, if everyone is fit.

We need to strengthen the middle line. Here a lot will depend on Kuchaev – how he will perform and whether he will have any injuries. We have to play the promising Ermakov. CSKA have very good youngsters, they need to be eliminated properly. Noskov, Mukhin, Arbuzov, Ermakov – if they continue to progress, why are foreigners needed? Mendez and Zdelar do not correspond to the tasks of the army. They are put, played, but they are not the same players – they work more for destruction than for creation, – Masalitin told Metaratings.ru.

CSKA will meet Zenit St. Petersburg on Saturday in the OLIMPBET Russian Super Cup game. The match will take place in Kazan and will start at 5:00 p.m. Watch the live broadcast of the match from 4:00 p.m. on the and MATCH PREMIER channels, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
