CSKA is preparing for the Super Cup in express mode

The RPL WORLD Championship is behind us, but our players have a lot of exciting events ahead of them. Since June 12, Viktor Mendes, Bakhtiyor Zaynutdinov, Jesus Medina and Jorge Carrascal have gone to their national teams and will join the main squad of CSKA later. Matvey Lukin was also "transferred" to the youth national team of the country.

On June 26, the first gathering of players starts, which will end on July 4. The team will settle down at the base in Novogorsk.

From July 7 to July 14, the second gathering in Vatutinki is scheduled. Upon its completion, the "red-blue" will go to Kazan for the match of the Super Cup "Zenit-CSKA".

Vladimir Fedotov noted that there is not enough time for thorough preparation for the tournament. His wards, like the players of other clubs, need time to recover their moral and physical strength after the past matches. There is no need to talk about unhurried preparation. Such a schedule requires maximum concentration and focus on results from each team member. The head coach of the "army" emphasized that they are familiar with the tactics of their rivals and know approximately what to prepare for. In general, the mood of the team is combative.

The history of personal meetings between the clubs of the two Russian capitals has 3 matches in the Super Cup. Of these, 2 wins – on the account of «Zenit» and 1 – at CSKA. On July 15, we are following the developments at the Ak Bars Arena! The meeting will be truly historic! The army men have every chance to even the score in this confrontation!
