Former Soviet Union national team and former player of the capital's CSKA team, Vladimir Ponomaryov, shared his thoughts on the Russian OLIMPBET Super Cup competition. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He noted that on July 12, the "Krasnodar" and CSKA teams will compete for the trophy. The match will take place in Kazan.
Ponomaryov mentioned that he watched CSKA's performance in the summer friendly matches. He emphasized that while they left a good impression in the game, they did not show enough effort in defense.
Although he has not seen the "Krasnodar" team, he expressed confidence that their condition is good. The former player assessed the winning chances of the teams as equal.
Additionally, "Krasnodar" has not yet won the Super Cup, while CSKA has won it 7 times. Meanwhile, St. Petersburg's "Zenit" team has been the champion of the competition 9 times.
In Ponomaryov's opinion, this game will be interesting, and both teams will showcase their capabilities. The Super Cup competition is considered one of the important events in Russian football and is followed with great attention every year.
During the match, the teams will test their strength and prepare for the new season.
