According to Yevgeny Lovchev, a defender of the Moscow "Spartak" team and the former USSR national team, the game against "Zenit" will test the capabilities of CSKA head coach Fabio Chelestin. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
In his opinion, it is currently impossible to give a clear assessment of the Swiss specialist's performance, as he is still utilizing the team of the previous coach Marko Nikolic. According to Lovchev, the true potential of the new coach will be visible in the near future.
The game against "Zenit" will provide the coach with an opportunity to showcase himself. He emphasized that "Zenit" is strong, the team is showing good results, and "Zenit" is indeed the main favorite of this match.
The match will take place on August 3 in St. Petersburg. The game is scheduled to start at 18:00 Moscow time.
Currently, after two rounds, "Zenit" is in sixth place with four points. CSKA, despite having the same number of points, is in eighth place.
This game will be of significant importance for both teams.
