The players of CSKA, five of which went to the unfortunate for the Russian national team Maribor, found some reserves and beat Spartak on Saturday. Another serious opponent is coming – German Wolfsburg.
"I think there will be no problems with emotions," said Slutsky. "By the way we outplayed Spartak not only due to emotions but we outstripped them in mastery. And the mood in the team is happy as in any team after a victory."
"At the training I saw that not all players are in optimal conditions but that is obvious. It is November and we play match after match."
"The main problem for CSKA is that we have almost no training days, only days for recovering or prior to the game."
"I have seen the previous game of the Army club against Wolfsburg. But I am not going to orient on it because it took place in September at the start of the tournament.
"After it Wolfsburg had many games including those in the Champions League."
"So I saw the matches of our forthcoming rival against Manchester United, both clashes with Besiktas as well as the last two matchdays in the Bundesleague against Hoffenheim and Nurnberg."
"I am going to wind the players up to the score 2:0 [the firs match ended up with 1:3 to Wolfsburg favour]."
"I am sure that Manchester United will play against Besiktas at his full power. After all it is not yet clear who will be the first in the group."
"Though at the same time for the last round Manchester can send its second squad to Germany. But I am sure that the English club can outplay any team even with the reserves on the field."
"So we need a 2:0 victory or a victory by larger margin to make the situation in the group depend only upon us."
