If CSKA loses, then there is a problem in the club, according to the former football player of the Moscow team Evgeny Aldonin.

On Sunday, CSKA lost to Sochi with a score of 0:2 in the away match of the 18th round of the WORLD RPL. The Red-Blues are fifth in the standings with 29 points.

– I would not pay attention to the CSKA match in Krasnodar in the Russian Cup. Still, there was a confrontation of two matches and the army team played by the score, the team did not turn on the maximum. The game against Sochi is another story. If CSKA loses, then there is a problem in the club. Not just because the team concedes two goals, the situation is not easy, first of all, it is necessary to improve the game in defense. It is necessary that the defenders act in concert both with each other and with the midfield. Of course, there are problems, but so far it is impossible to say that CSKA has a systemic decline. In the fall, there was one situation, the army team lost a lot of points at the end of the year, but then there were reasons: the leaders had injuries, someone lost their form. Now the situation is different, after three official games it is too early to talk about obvious problems. If there are two or three more matches, and the situation remains the same, then it will be necessary to draw some conclusions and talk about specific problems.

Could there be a problem in Fedotov and in his connection with the team? Don’t you think that you are labeling? Vladimir Valentinovich is a system coach who solves issues. We need to talk about problems in defense when the championship is over and it will be possible to sum up all the games. The class of the team is determined by how people cope with difficulties. While I’m not ready to assess Fedotov. Of course, the coach needs more time, but when the team solves big problems, time is always short. The class of the team and the coach is determined by the decisions that are made on the field in a particular situation. The fact that CSKA has a good and combat-ready squad is a fact. But to get the defensive play in sync is one of the hardest things in football. Because not four people are defending, but the whole team, this issue is very systemic, – Aldonin told Metaratings.ru.
