The match for the OLIMPBET Russian Super Cup showed that CSKA can claim the highest places in the championship, former CSKA football player Andrey Solomatin told RB Sport.
On Saturday in Kazan, Zenit defeated CSKA. The main time of the match ended with a score of 0:0, the club from St. Petersburg won on penalties – 5:4.
– CSKA can claim first place in the new season. I think that Gaych should be given a chance. Zabolotny played not the best match yesterday, I would even say disgusting. It is clear that Oblyakov was not there yesterday, and through him the exits to the attack are being built. Mendez is more of a defensive player. I am not a supporter of acquisitions in the current situation. Maybe you should give the young people a chance. Yesterday’s match showed that CSKA can claim the highest places. The army has the largest order in the line of defense,” Solomatin said.
The new season of the MIR RPL starts on July 21 with the Dynamo-Krasnodar match. Match TV will show live three matches of the first round: Lokomotiv – Rubin (July 22, 17:15), Akhmat – Wings of the Soviets (July 22, 19:45) and Sochi – “Baltika” (July 23, 19:45).
