Victory or failure: CSKA will fight for the last chance – European Cup News – Football

On the evening of November 27, CSKA will hold its last match in Luzhniki as part of the group stage of the Champions League against the Czech Republic's Victoria. I want to believe that the army team will return to the main stage of the world championship – 2018 to participate in playoffs of this tournament, however the probability that it is not very high.

In order to continue the fight in the most prestigious competition of the Old World, the protections of Viktor Goncharenko must win during the last two rounds – against Victoria and, what still seems to be only a dream, to visit Real Madrid.

Yes, the pretty "creamy" tremble this season (which costed only an overwhelming defeat against "Eibar" with a score of 0: 3 in the last match, Examples), but they could still connect in the Champions League, then they would not be.

However Red and blue it is too early to think about departing for the capital of Spain in December – you must first overcome "Victoria". Even a draw would deprive Muscovites of the last chances playoffs In this case, CSKA lost twice in the Champions League, and this trend can not inspire optimism.

However, in Russian Premier League in Goncharenko everything is in order, and for the victory over the "Victoria" of this form should be enough. In the last games, the army team has beaten with confidence in his field Saint PETERSBOURG "Zenit" (2: 0) and "Akhmat" – in Grozny (2: 0).

In addition, CSKA has reduced the list of casualties. Key defender Rodrigo Bekao is back, as well as central field player Arnor Sigurdsson.

Unfortunately, Alan Dzagoev still can not recover and the defender Herdour Magnusson will miss the game. because of disqualification.

"Bekao and Sigurdsson are ready for the game. Dzagoev, unfortunately, tomorrow we are not an badistant. He coaches himself individually, quotes Goncharenko on the official website of UEFA. "Even if Alan's health had allowed him, he was not already working fully with the team for a month now, but the condition is not good. As for Mario Fernandez, he will play the helmet before the winter break. In the match against the Czechs, one does not expect an easy walk. Since the time of BATE, I know how to play "Victoria", she has the same coach, Pavel Vrba. We clearly see how the team attacks and defends how it implements the standard positions. As for the changes, Michael Krmenchik, who scored two goals for us in the last game, is injured and will not help the opponent. But "Victoria" has other attackers of the same kind, so the game will be the same structurally. "

For the moment, CSKA is in third place in the group. The team qualifies for the 1/16 finals of the second most prestigious European Cup – the Europa League. To continue the fight in the Champions League, you must take the second line (or of course the first, but this option is already impossible for the army team).

But "Victoria" is in the last, fourth position of the group, which means the final start of the Coupe de Europe. The only chance for the Czechs to hang on to the "European Spring" is to defeat the CSKA at the Luzhniki stadium (theoretically possible) and hope the defeat of the army team to Madrid (more than likely).

In this case, it is "Victoria", not CSKA, who will take third place in the group and qualify for the Europa League.

Now, the Czechs are all at stake, and rival motivation from the opponent can pose a serious danger to Red and blue. Victoria defender and captain Roman Gubnik, who, from 2007 to 2010, was in favor of the already-forgotten Moskva football club, stressed that the Czechs would only play to win.

We arrived knowing that only a victory can allow us to fight for the spring of the European Cup. Only thoughts about victory, there can be no other. It should be noted that the opponent is a very young team that does not lose for the quality of the game. We must approach the match with responsibility and concentration.
