“CSKA definitely has a shortage of players” – Balakhnin
Former Rostov head coach Sergei Balakhnin believes that CSKA Moscow should replenish the squad if the club wants to fight for the championship in the RPL.
– CSKA definitely has a shortage of players, that’s for sure. They even need to strengthen the starting lineup, not to mention the fact that they need players in the reserve. Unless, of course, the team wants to fight for gold medals.
Naturally, you can’t go through the whole season on one lineup, you need more than 11 people. There are no two opinions here,” Balakhnin told Gazeta.Ru.
On Saturday in Kazan, Zenit defeated CSKA in the match for the OLIMPBET Russian Super Cup. The main time of the match ended with a score of 0:0, the club from St. Petersburg won on penalties – 5:4.
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).
