Now, a curious coincidence, all four teams in this group of an equal number of points, while CSKA and “Justice” besides the same number of goals scored and conceded. The good news is that the army team, who are in a solid company, after two rounds have every chance of reaching the 1/8 finals. However, to catch up in this regard, “Zenith” (hard to think that St. Petersburg people take and proskochat past the playoffs), you need to gnaw points from the “Manchester”.
Returning to the Champions League after a year’s break, Sir Alex suddenly stumbled in the first game of the group stage against PSV. Then, however, rehabilitated victory over the “Wolfsburg” – and with gusto stared at Moscow, with whom the club their intimate relations. In 2008, the city brought the “United” the first in nine years, winning the Champions League title, and a year later, “Red Devils” won CSKA Moscow – at that time a new team Leonid Slutsky.
And here’s a new voyage “MJ” to the Ancient. Start with plague meeting the fans in “Sheremetyevo” and that the club has refused to train on the Khimki lawn until the beginning of the match.
“We are not trained in Khimki, we worked in Manchester. Just fly away to Moscow. In addition, we were warned about traffic jams. So we decided not to make a great trip – flight, sending the hotel, sending the stadium, a trip back to the hotel … It is better to once again save his strength, “- he explained to Louis van Gaal.
Save power and the players that are precisely today we do not see in action. In the hospital “MJ” settled Luke Shaw (broken leg), Ashley Young (ankle), Paddy McNair (stomach) and James Wilson (illness). CSKA difficulties only in Bibras Natcho, who has a concussion. The remaining players are ready to defend ourselves for a successful record in Khimki, where red and blue do not lose in official matches over six months.
Someone told
Leonid Slutsky, CSKA head coach : «Missed balls – the last thing that should worry us Igor Akinfeev. We care about the result, even if the account is 10: 9, it will suit us. We have the right to hope for a positive outcome, paying tribute to his opponent and realizing that playing with the giants. If someone is not completely ready to play, we compensate for this by emotion. ” (UEFA official website)
Louis van Gaal, coach of “Manchester United» : «I have to match with PSV said that one point in the away match – it is good. Although three of course even better.

After the “United” I never will not work. ”
Roman Eremenko midfielder CSKA Moscow : «In order that the” Manchester United “is not so good, I do not agree. It is a strong team, there are lots of young players. I have some problems, but I’m ready to play. Opornik? I’ve been in this position played a little out of sorts feeling (in the last match of the championship). But ready to play anywhere, where I put the coach. It’s not a problem for me”. (official website of CSKA)
