Fedotov calls for aggression in attack.
Schwartz expects to weaken CSKA
You can talk as much as you like about how selfish Ejuke is in the field – it is true, but the Nigerian knows how to soften the attacks of the “army men” with non-trivial decisions. Like the late Mario Fernandez, the winger plays alone. For several years, Sochi worked in advance to confuse the opponent. Defender Terekhov also consistently appeared in someone else’s penalty area. And the actions of Zabolotny, Kokorin and Casierra were very different in approach. In CSKA there was no such diversity, there was only a bet on individual skill.
But there will be no more Dzagoev programs. Yazici left RPL, will not return. And now Hertha reminded Ejuka that she could leave CSKA right now. Not long ago, the Nigerian told how good he is at the Moscow club, but it is enough that a not poor Berlin club and coach Schwartz, who knows Chidera’s skills, offer a normal contract and a chance to play at the base. – the Nigerian will point his heels towards the Bundesliga. It is clear that Hertha was a stranger, but she survived. He invited the Dinamo coach, he can move up in the standings.
Ejuke will do the right thing though will go on rent. He’s only twenty-four. He played for CSKA almost two, but this path will not lead to the Champions League. And then at least add the performance for one of the top 5 clubs to the resume. Furthermore, for the first time in sixteen years, Nigeria did not qualify for the World Cup. You don’t have to worry about not getting into the question for Qatar if the adaptation to Hertha doesn’t go smoothly. Fedotov will lose a technician, confident in dribbling, but productive. Ejuke scored as many goals as Zabolotny.
Chalov needs to be brought back to his senses
Fedor is the strongest striker CSKA. It’s just that Chalov didn’t fit with manager Berezutsky, so he left for Basel with Spartak mentor Abaskal. Consequently, neither Spanish nor Russian favorite club the legendary tennis player Federer did not stay. The Swiss did not renew the lease, although Chalov planned to stay in Central Europe. He now he is returning. And it is unlikely that Fedotov, under current conditions, will not ask for the transfer of the attacker.
And from Chalov you should definitely not make an extreme attack. There have been experiments, but Fedor is not that sharp. But he thinks well, in the “3-5-2” or “4-4-2” scheme it can come in handy. The problems of this attacker have always been associated with psychology. Fedotov understands that without working with morality one cannot be successful CSKA. Chalov needs to be prepared for a successful season without brilliant mistakes from good positions. Or he bet on the strong Gaich and Zabolotny. And if the Argentine runs in sparring alongside the juniors, they probably don’t count on him at the base, then the coach knows Anton.
Zabolotny is in good physical shape, and although at thirty-one he will not give off incredible accelerations, even the attacker’s mass in CSKA it was not used last season. The clear chances were too few and the number of shots reflected the state of the whole team. Defensive midfielder Gbamen has on average as many attempts per game as a center forward. Chalov didn’t even understand that when he was released in eleven games RPL to the base. The reason for Yazici’s lightning-fast success is precisely that he found chances, but the soccer team of the “army team” shocked, regardless of the names of the players.
You lose half a team of directors
Oblyakov created 20 chances after crosses, hit a corner 9 times so that he could break through on goal. He also created nearly three dozen other moments. Six assists came out, three of which were useless for match results. Dzagoev and Fernandez in total gave seventy passes under the blows, but Akhmetov was in fourth place. What unites the trio? Everyone started from CSKA. If Ejuke leaves and Zabolotny is on the bench, the seven main masters of the last pass, including Yazici, will leave the team in the summer.
Fedotov urgently needs to think about how to build an attack in a new way. Maybe it’s time for Oblyakov to play in the top ten. Although there was not such a pure role in Sochi’s schemes, the young midfielder is certainly not the new Noboa. It is important that Chalov has a passing game. It is important that Medina and Carrascal settle the money invested in them. CSKA at the moment a raw team, and although they promise newcomers a balance in depth – they seek a defensive midfielder, we see serious gaps in attack, which are unlikely to be filled by the youngsters led by Yakovlev.
By the way, it is Vladislav, along with Carrascal, who meets Vlašić’s standards in targeting others’ goals. Although the 20-year-old Russian, like Colombian Jorge, is unstable, so Gaich hasn’t left for a new lease and the loss of Ejuka can be painful. There is not a single high-class player in the attack. We also missed the exit from the right wing, because Fernandez connected the lines more clearly than his colleague on the left. CSKA once again the offensive line changes considerably, and this after the winter transfers, aimed precisely at strengthening the attack.
No tough striker CSKA will not shoot
In conditions where the club has enough money, he asks for separation from Gaych and the purchase of his Casierra. But so far we talk about searches, without naming lists of surnames. It is clear that Fedotov needs defenders: central and left. Of course, without a defensive midfielder, all reforms can fall apart under the weight of others’ counterattacks, but Chalov, Zabolotny and Gaich are not dream strikers, even if we allow for a one-striker scheme.
And without Ejuka and Fernandez, there will be no one to drag the ball into someone else’s penalty area on a bad night. The jokes are beaten, but in such conditions even Dziuba may not be the worst solution. Although it is clear that Artem prefers to go abroad and the owners CSKA I don’t like unnecessary scandals. Robust free agent Estupinyan is also not the worst option, but he is asking for two million euros in salary and a raise of one million.
Oscar has a powerful agent: he has to do with Valverde, Laporte, Reina, Stones, Ake and dozens of famous players in the top 5. Fedotov must prove to the attacker that he enters. CSKA worth the step. The team is rebuilding itself. Biyol, Medina and Carrascal will not be able to swear allegiance to Fedotov. Ejuka’s words about love for CSKA not to interfere with negotiations with Hertha. Urgently newbies are needed After all, until the beginning of the season less than two weeks.
