now the big day is near, the race in Italy and Russia are waiting for nearly two weeks is close to kick-off. On one hand, Inter's Jose Mourinho in 2006 did not reach the quarter-finals, the other the CSKA Moscow of Leonid Slutskiy that before this season, had never crossed the threshold of the group stage with Valery Gazzaev and that only a Once he had passed the knockout in the first edition of Champions League (1992 (in 1993, after eliminating the Johann Cruyff's Barcelona).
E 'evident in recent weeks, virtually on the derby, Inter designed exclusively for the Cup by the big ears. Mourinho's team in this 2010 has never failed a really important event, if we exclude the challenge shield a few days ago before the derby neroazzurri were seen falling, were stunted and suffered from victories: in the Milan derby was destroyed despite the superiority of double numerica.P rhyme double victory over Chelsea, Zanetti and his companions have left so many points to rivals after the verdict of the urn in Nyon, the 'Inter has collected a point in two games. Enough to be considered a team in trouble abroad. For connoisseurs of
now Mourinho is understood as the Holy Man of Setubal is preperando down to the minute detail the challenge against the same opponent uin Portuguese coach does not want to underestimate. In Italy Mourinho does not speak now before the 0-0 draw against Sampdoria, but outside the former Porto and Chelsea coach willingly concede to reporters. Let us see what he said in a very calm and relaxed in the aftermath of the Palermo-Inter in Khimki, where he went to see the play in the championship against CSKA Dynamo:
'It's always very difficult to play in the championship in the immediate vicinity a match of the Champions League. I your men much more easily lose focus and motivation, the team relaxes Be, has certainly not adrenaline, is tired, both physically and mentally. So it was before the game against Chelsea, so it was after. For the same reason I can say that I expected a drop also from the CSKA tan'è true that today the Dynamo Moscow CSKA did more. E 'race was a lot of fun.
know many players of CSKA Moscow, most of them also wore this shirt when they confronted a coach at Chelsea. However, having changed the coach, has also changed their system of play, they left very good players like Daniel Carvalho and Vagner Love, but Necid players as they arrived, Honda and Mark Gonzalez.
When I hear around that we were to fish Foruno CSKA say that is absolutely not true. I'm glad I took the CSKA because it means being in the quarter and because we beat Chelsea, but we have not beat CSKA us are all to play two games and then we still have to defeat CSKA. We all respect him for what he did against Sevilla, but I will do my utmost to prepare for this race.
The Champions League is the Champions League, everything is different, the atmosphere, the type of competition, every player dreams of playing for a Champions, every fan dreams of being at the stadium. I always liked the
CSKA Gazzaev, I have always had excellent relations with him, and I was delighted to meet him in the game against Dynamo Kiev. After him came a dear friend, Zico. Now, I can not say that I'm a friend of Slutskiy, since I met him only twice, but I am very glad that he made this big leap, from a small team to a big team like CSKA that he has reached the Champions quarterfinals.
The world is full of Mourinho, but I do not think is a good thing for them, for me it's a good thing, but every coach has to have distinctive characters, its characteristics, personality, and never try to be a duplication, because the copy is always worse than the original. He is a great coach, because if it is with CSKA and CSKA are in the quarter, it means he did a great job.
I always want to win and I will do everything to win with my team. "
Thus spake thus Mourinho intercepted by NTV + (Pay TV Russian) on the sidelines of Khimki Arena. A Special One relaxed, away from the stresses of Italian football who recalled having already faced the CSKA Chelsea when he drove in 2004. It was the group with Porto (Mou when asked even the escort to return along the Douro), PSG and CSKA in fact. In the double challenge of the team coached Valery Gazzaev from nearly twice to snatch points to Chelsea, but was ordered by mistake from eleven meters. In that year also, CSKA was sponsored by Sibneft, the oil company whose majority was held by the Blues boss Roman Abramovich, known supporter of the Soldiers.
For the uninitiated, Leonid Slutskiy Mourinho has met twice and within a cooperation project between the Inter born and Krylya Sovetov Samara, a team now full of economic problems Slutskiy left when he realized that Juande Ramos, a months after he took over from Zico, soon would leave the helm of rossoblù. Slutskiy twice visited Appiano Gentile and with the authorization and presence of Massimo Moratti could spend a day with Mourinho from the field and assist in the training of its Inter. Appian is not the only base that has visited the Russian coach. Often the former FC Krylya Sovetov Moscow and has run entertained at Trigoria with Spalletti, whose engineer was a friend and that will address by Saturday, in the midst of two rounds of the Champions League. Maybe even to regain confidence with the ground synthetic Luzhniki Stadium, CSKA decided to play Saturday against Zenit in Moscow in the plant, rather than in Khimki, where so far beat Amkar Perm (Honda '90) before flying to Sevilla and draw against the Dynamo after the hangover of Andalusia.
The pact is not signed between players and coaches not to speak so much of Inter was observed. Mouth almost stitched and utmost respect for those who were the opponents in Russia.
Getting CSKA to the double challenge against Inter?
goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev , for years one of the most promising of the Old Continent, from the national team when he was 18 years (he was the youngest participant in EURO 2004), although it is just a ventritrenne, a UEFA Cup titles various national and a third at EURO2008 assets, like Julio Cesar vicendo is not a great time. However, there is his signature in the return of Seville. Its operations have crushed any ambition of the team then coached by Manolo Jimenez. At the last championship in Makhachkala, Dagestan, the goalkeeper, author of a paper that got the momentary advantage to the local, went down heavily against the local authorities, guilty of having let in without a ticket people who filled the stadium to the brim, often forcing him not to give back to the audience not to be attacked . Mamaev, his teammate, has threatened to suffer. A position which he characterized as non-racist or intolerant, on the eve of a bloody attack that has shocked Moscow. Quiet person, not a talker, Akinfeev is known for his contempt for the clubs. He spends his free time at home, a true professional, home and all training, a bit like his former teammate at CSKA Yuri Zhirkov.
The defense is considered by all the weakest team in Moscow. Slow, awkward, clumsy, thoughtless and not concentrated. The twins Berezutskiy and Ignashevich , permanent presence for the past seven seasons, players are not poor fundamental, though not certainly of the peaks from a purely technical point of view (anzi. ..), but their excessive slowness and especially the lack of attention has often deprived the important goals of CSKA. We must say that this year (defined as the calendar year 2010, so to speak), ingenuity in Negredo's goal in Moscow in part, the rear guard of CSKA and the national team (one of the reasons why South Africa There will be Dedic - sigh - and it is this fellow) has very little wrong. The player with the most room for improvement and certainly Georgy Schennikov , if we want a little bit of Russia Santon, discovered by Gazzaev brevilineo back and launched immediately by Zico. Good technique, speed, but that so much inexperience, combined with a physicist who has yet to be completed, place him in an unenviable position on the lane Maicon. The young, born 1991, has so far anything but marred the Champions League, also contains a fairly large player like Jesus Navas, but may suffer particularly the excessive power of the Brazilian physical and athletic. The midfield often
has lacked during costruizione, lacks a director who is able to set the action, which, however, few have noticed in the Champions League. CSKA has not always been forced to make the game so Slutskiy could easily put two hinges on the protection and defense as Semberas Aldonin , perfect in Seville. For this reason it is done on the bench Pavel Mamaev, great promise of the former Torpedo Moscow club where it already owned in 17 years. Technique midfielder and good feet, but so, too much timidity that have forced virtually all his coaches not to take sides in the Champions League. Milos Krasic acting on the wings and Mark Gonzalez . Il serbo, dal 2004 a Mosca, è un purosangue, grande fisico, tanta corsa ed una tecnica che col passare delle stagioni diventa sempre meno grezza e sempre più cristallina. Non ha iniziato la stagione alla grandissima, praticamente come ogni anno, ma se il CSKA ha superato la Fase a Gironi gran parte del merito è suo (e di Akinfeev). Non è un mistero che in quel periodo lo schema era: "Diamo palla a Krasic, che poi ci pensa lui, scartando tutti gli avversari". Viene fuori col passare delle gare, è la stella, l'uomo mercato dei "Kony" il biondo nato in Kosovo, il giocatore che tra quelli rimasti in lizza in Champions più è andato in gol. Dall'altra parte gioca come detto il cileno Mark Gonzalez . The Chilean, acquired during the management to replace Zico as a champion Zhirkov, is still in doubt but could recover from a small injury that caused him to skip the last two games of the season. His goal against Sevilla at the Luzhniki, could be a thorn in the side of the Inter rearguard. The former Liverpool and Real Betis is certainly not the best Zhirkov, but is an excellent counter-attacks and has a great shot from outside (see masterpiece against the Andalusians). If it fails to recover, his place would be taken by Honda or the dynamic Mamaev: in this case, both have great freedom of movement and could leave the side band discovery: a possibility that is already enticed Maicon.
Dietro l'unica punta, sarà ballottaggio Honda-Dzagoev , col giapponese avvantaggiato da prestazioni e condizione fisica sul gioiellino di Beslan. Honda , acquistato dal VVV-Venloo per 6 milioni di euro circa, è una mezza punta non velocissima, ma dotata di buona tecnica individuale e di un tiro tra i più velenosi sulla scena europea. Ne sa qualcosa Palop, ma anche il meno noto Abaev (numero 1 dell'Anzhi). Dzagoev , coetaneo di Balotelli ma con molto più sale in zucca, esploso nella seconda metà del 2008, è il classico fantasista che dà il meglio di sè giocando dietro ad un'unica punta. Paragonato ad Arshavin, ricorda il miglior calciatore russo dell'ultimo decennio per la visione di gioco e per il "gusto dell'assist", ma non troppo per le movenze. Meno veloce ed agile, ma altrettanto intelligente calcisticamente parlando ed elegante. In possesso di un gran tiro da fuori, batte l'ex numero 10 dello Zenit nei calci piazzati. Ha il difetto di prendersi le classiche pause "alla Arshavin", ma a differenza di Andrey quando sbaglia è per eccessivo nervosismo (questo il suo principale difetto: ancora troppo spesso si fa prendere dalla frenesia e quando inizia a sbagliare più del solito si innervosisce e non sempre poi riesce a migliorare il livello delle sue prestazioni), non dà quindi - a differenza di Andrey - la sensazione di giocare svogliatamente, sottoritmo o controvoglia. Shava has in common with a great quality, perhaps the most important: namely that we can decide a match with one bet. Not yet at the levels of Arshavin, from this point of view, second only to Messi and a few others, but we must not forget that we are talking about an Ossetian boy of 19, his third season in the first team. 2010 for his continued as was done in 2009: Problems at 'groin and therapies in Germany, which forced him to chase an acceptable physical condition and the fact that they blew the whole preparation. "El nuevo Beckham" T ITLE AS to reveal a strong interest of Real in 2008, after a 3-0 win against Depor with his shotgun. Beckham, Alan, born boy in Beslan, a town known for its array of Chechen attack the school, has little, modest, shy and sometimes awkward, but the field has been shown to have personality and character, as yet to file but are evident. Dzagoev has perhaps suffered a little abandonment of his mentor Valery Gazzaev, but it is certainly the most promising among the Russian players. In the first races of the group stage has given an important essay in its class: three goals - however, all of exquisite workmanship - the debut in a competition as important, if not predestined to be close enough.
In attack there are a few solutions, as Vagner Love will return to base only in July, months where will the interesting Ivorian striker Seydou Doumbia. CSKA has only one striker and weight - in the current form to a single point - it can never do without it. So the Czech Necid , arrived early last season from Slavia Prague, is the undisputed holder of the attack of the former Red Army team. Does not mark a lot and has often been attacked for wasting the ease with which the balls are the goals that the comrades. In CL, however, this giant of 193 feet inches from anything but contempt, has made very few mistakes. High and mighty, or TTime hitters head, p ur not being Ibrahimovic, with feet like that knows how to play. Excellent in the game of the bank, in this 2010 has started strong: it could be the year of maturity for a player among the most praised in Europe since she was 16 years. The goal at Seville an essay of his qualities. Were to develop the killer instinct needed to large bombers, the Czech Republic, the Great Depression generation, an attacker might be stronger than even the now ex (and trained by the Slutskiy Krylya Sovetov Samara), Jan Koller. In attack, though little used even by former FC Moscow's Brazilian Guilherme , one of the U-20 highest paid in Europe (Dynamo Kiev, the first right to repurchase a loan to CSKA , paid him 10 million to Cruzeiro), the football great promise Brazilian Eastern Europe - at least initially - has encountered some difficulties over a number of his countrymen who have made a fortune there.
In these hours of anguish for Russia obviously put some thought to more than double attack this morning has thrown the biggest nightmare capital of the Old Continent. So far 38 are confirmed dead. The track is now virtually established than Caucasian. E 'from there that terrostite, two female suicide bombers, probably the wives of separatist guerrillas killed by "Spetsnaz" FSB in the mountains of Kabardino-Balkaria, Chechnya and dell'Ingulscezia region where at present reigns total chaos and that is pushing for independence from Moscow. The attacks have taken place in Lubyanka and Kultura Park stations, two stations belonging to the red line, the Sololnicheskaya, the oldest and most important of the fifteen lines and local railways linking the Russian metropolis. And 'the line more than any other is full of culture, wealth and business. It combines the one on the most important stages of the city, including the impressive Luzhniki which is located just a few minutes from one of the places of the attack. Right there you will play the second leg and just the subway in 2006 helped the players of Spartak Moscow, stuck in traffic to reach the stage for Champions just against ... Inter. In 2007, however, the entire game against CSKA in the plant site on line Sokolnicheskaya, Lokomotiv Stadion Cherkizovo. CSKA is perhaps more than any other company that has dealings with the government. After winning the UEFA Cup in Lisbon in 2005, on each anniversary of that victory is celebrated the national day of football. The players were welcomed to the Kremlin and Putin Vagner Love and delighted the audience with some exchanges. Before moving to Evgeny Giner, CSKA Moscow was the team of the Army during the Soviet period and subsequently the Ministry of Defence, an institution with which there are now disputes relating to the acquisition and payment of land for the construction of the new stage of CSKA. After observing the society, it soon became Giner a machine capable of putting up trophies trophies attendees. So in 2004, the first entry in the '93 Champions CSKA result in a downgrading in a UEFA Cup win hands down, burying networks and overlooking any opponent. And 'the Russian team CSKA last to have been able to eliminate an Italian, the young (and honestly not great) Parmadi Gilardino in 2005. The Moscow became a landmark for Russian football, with an enviable network of observers, particularly as regards the South American market. The two stars of the dazzling jewels and 2005, Daniel Carvalho and Vagner Love, I am still under contract with the company Giner. Vagner is helping Flamengo scored with a volley species in the Libertadores. Carvalho, in 2007 after breaking the cruciate ligament of the knee, never returned the phenomenon can easily win in the first squad Dunga of Brazil. After the economic crisis and a partial abandonment of sponsors to give money first few seasons, Giner has preferred to focus on young people from the tank, flanked by foreigners eager to shine. Some shots have been successful, others have ended badly, if not bad (see Kalouda, Caner Erkin, Ramon, and Maazou Janczyk). The new sponsor is the Bashneft, the oil company Bashkiria region Tatarstan, the same as the Rubin Kazan, which has guaranteed financial coverage superior to that of the national airline Aeroflot, sponsors 2009.
