“You have to prove everything on the field.” Akinfeev – about the ambitions of young CSKA football players
CSKA goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev said that young army players need to set goals for themselves and be able to achieve them on the field.
After seven rounds of the Russian Championship, CSKA is in seventh place in the table with 11 points.
— We have ambitious young people. I talk to them at the base and say: guys, you need to show your ambitions on the field. Everything about your personal life is your story. We need to set goals to win. At least a medal, not a cup. I’ll repeat once again – even second place last season was happiness. I already forgot how much it weighs, this medal (smiles). And when someone starts saying in an interview that we’re about to start correcting the situation and all that… And then what? “You have to prove everything on the field,” Rossiyskaya Gazeta quotes Akinfeev as saying.
On Saturday, September 16, CSKA will host Krylia Sovetov in the 8th round of the MIR RPL. Watch the live broadcast of the match on the MATCH PREMIER channel, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru. The broadcast starts at 13:55.
