CSKA veteran Vladimir Ponomarev said that the army team will aim for the championship next season WORLD RPL.
Last season, CSKA took second place in the WORLD RPL table, and also won the Russian Cup.
“I think the goals have already been set. We are focused on first place, on the championship. We must bypass the St. Petersburg “Zenith”. We will make good competition. CSKA now has a more even line-up than Zenit. St. Petersburg has a good attack, but we have better other lines. So we aim for the first place, the team is capable of it.
Of course, refereeing will be an important factor. Last season was a mess. It was a terrible refereeing. I hope that everything will be sorted out now, and the situation will change,” Ponomarev told Euro‑Football.Ru.
The match for the OLIMPBET Russian Super Cup between Zenit St. Petersburg and CSKA Moscow will take place on July 15 in Kazan.
The new season of the Russian Championship will start on July 21-23.
