Kislyak: Nikolich's diamond system distracted the opponent

Moscow CSKA midfielder Matvey Kislyak recalled the tactics from the last season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

He mentioned Marko Nikolich's diamond system. According to Kislyak, it will be difficult to break through the diamond system.

Marko Nikolich said: “Opponents think they can keep you under pressure and control the game, but the score is 3:0 in your favor.” The opponent controls the ball but creates no attacking opportunities. That is the essence of this system.

We remind you that CSKA finished third in the Russian championship and won the Russian Cup. In the summer, Nikolich left the army club.

In his place, Swiss Fabio Celestini came in and emphasized working on active pressing. Under Celestini's leadership, the team won in their first official match.

This victory was against "Krasnodar" in the OLIMPBET Russian Super Cup. Thus, under the new coach, CSKA demonstrated its strength and had a good start to the new season.
