CSKA - champions of Russian Cup
-
Hello! Gia Saralidze is here in the Vestnik Kavkaza studio.
-
As always we are talking about important events of the football world.
-
Let's begin with the final of the Russian Cup.
-
CSKA, one of the leaders of the Premier League, vs Alania, which doesn't participate in the Premier League.
-
However, the Cup is a special championship. Sometimes weak teams win in it, and leaders fail.
-
This time there were no surprises. CSKA was the leader of the game. 2:1 was the score. The win was fair.
-
During the whole match CSKA's preferences were obvious, but intrigue was maintained till the end.
-
CSKA scored first at the very beginning of the game, and it seemed the victory would be easy and devastating.
-
However, Alania managed to equalise. 1:1. But in the second half CSKA scored their second goal and got their first trophy for the head coach Slutsky.
-
It is interesting, because Slutsky is a fairly experienced coach.
-
He came up with not bad results in the Champions League and the Europa League.
-
Nevertheless, it is the first title Slutsky has got working as the head coach of CSKA.
-
Generally for the match, there were some threats that CSKA would beat Alania easily; that Alania would only defend and we would see no beautiful football.
-
However, the poor expectations didn't become reality. The game was quite interesting.
-
So the match showed that Russian football is not that bad. Alania did their best. CSKA won due to their class and spirit and it was fair.
-
We will see how these teams will succeed in the future: Alania in the First League, they were aiming to enter the Premier League.
-
CSKA has other goals. Their main goal is to win the Premier League and show good results in the Champions League.
-
We will follow developments. In the next part of our programme we will speak about the 10th round of the Russian Premier League.
