Former Soviet Union national team and Moscow CSKA player Vladimir Ponomaryov shared his thoughts on what to expect from the "red-blue" team in the new season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He emphasized that the team's physical preparation is at a very high level. Indicators such as pressing and quick transitions from defense to attack stand out in particular.
In this regard, the team meets the highest standards. Under the leadership of new head coach Fabio Chelestini, CSKA defeated Serbian clubs "Partizan" and "OFK Belgrade" with scores of 3:1 and 4:2, respectively.
According to Ponomaryov, if the team continues to play at this level, they could secure the championship. On July 12, CSKA will compete against the "Krasnodar" team in the Russia Super Cup.
This game will be closely watched and will test the team's chances for the season once again.
