Former CSKA midfielder Alexander Grishin said he was not surprised by the Moscow club’s pragmatic style in the first round of the RPL WORLD with Rostov, and also admitted that he did not know what style the team would show under the coach. Marco Nikolice .
The RPL first round match took place in Rostov and ended with a score of 0:0.
— I don’t know what kind of football Nikolic will play. Under him, Lokomotiv played reliably in defense and waited for rare moments in attack. In Rostov, CSKA played well in defense, but not in attack. I was not surprised by the pragmatic style that CSKA showed in the first match.
— Why would CSKA let Chalov go now if the attack will probably be less productive anyway?
– There is nothing strange in this. If it had not been profitable for the club, he would not have let Chalov go. The club and the player are satisfied with the conditions, so the deal must take place.
— Can Koita replace him?
— It is difficult to judge on a single match. First, he arrived just in time for the first round. Whether he is fit or not, we do not know. Most likely, I did not hit him. You have to watch 5-6 matches to have a minimal idea of him.
— Will Akinfeev be the main goalkeeper during the season?
— If they signed another contract with him, it means that they are counting on him. Igor is objectively the strongest goalkeeper in the RPL. “Akinfeev is the number one of the club today, Slava Torop had health problems, so Akinfeev will definitely be the number one of CSKA this season,” Grishin told Metaratings.ru.
In the second round, CSKA will meet PARIS NN on Saturday. Watch the match live from 14:00 (Moscow time) on the MATCH PREMIER channel, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
