Russian League getting good

[Bonzi]

Rotor - Lokomotiv (2:2)

it's very doubtful - Loko beat Rotor twice last season and since that time Rotor doesn't play better.

Is Daniel Crvalho on loan, or did CSKA actually buy him?If so how much did he cost

CSKA bought him for ~4-5 million

 

[ugluk]

no, Obiorah has lost too many chances to score this season, because of him and Parks we lost to Monaco.

Yea, jesus that 2-on-1-goalie thing was retarded...

but then in the second leg he was one of the best players IMHO. he basically had all the initiative in the forwards area.

it's very doubtful - Loko beat Rotor twice last season and since that time Rotor doesn't play better.

Loko played 3 hard games in a row... And you know how they're susceptible to being tired. Besides they always go easy on easy opponents.

carvalho was bought for $5 million i'm pretty sure.

Rotor changed head coach couple days ago. now their head coach is Yaremchenko(former Shakhtar Donetsk coach) he almost doesn't know players so he cant make them play really strong against Loko.

 

[ugluk]

they're probably going to run the same strategy as before... he cant make changes in a day... they're gonna play the same way they did last week

 

[ugluk]

well i was right... 2:2

dissappointing, but makes sense. sychev rulez. ashvetia sux ass. i dont understand y he is still playing.

wow crazy stuff this week:

April 25th:

Amkar - Dinamo 0:1
Torpedo - Zenit 3:1
Shinnik - Krylya Sovetov 0:1
Saturn - Rostov 2:0

April 26th:

Rubin - Spartak 2:0
Torpedo-Metallurg - Kuban 2:2
CSKA - Alania 1:0
Rotor - Lokomotiv 2:2

Suprising games for me were the Rubin - Spartak and the Torpedo - Zenit game. I'm scared for Zenit, cuz they're in the CL. If they lost to Torpedo, makes me wonder...

 

[mika]

I hope they can pull themselves together for the CL. If a Russian club wins CL it would be so great, people will look at Russian League differently.

 

[SB9Dragon]

When does the Russian League operate? Not during the rigid Russian winters I would presume?

 

[Aveirenses]

I'm getting confused. What dates is the Russian league active?

SB9 beat me to it...

 

[Bonzi]

from march till november

no, Ashvetia plays way more better then Obiorah and Parks together. maybe he just has a little playing crisis. dont you remeber he scored many goals in the CL?

 

[ugluk]

most of em were fluke... obiorah is having a crisis and Parks never was good. i havent seen ashvetia do anything that was worth praise lately. all he did for the last half a year was ruin the best chances.

some awesome games, I think Zenit will win it this year

who is in CL this year? Is it only CSKA?

 

[Bonzi]

Yes, there is only CSKA in the CL this year. Zenit, Rubin and Terek in the UEFA Cup.

 

[mika]

that sucks why the f*ck we only get one spot in the CL? We should have top two teams in the CL and 3th and 4th place in UEFA Cup.

 

[Bonzi]

Because CSKA lost to Vardar(Macedonia) last season, because Spartak lost all their matches in the CL in 2002/2003 season. So Russia lost a lot of points.

 

[mika]

Lokomotiv did okay the last CL, if it wasn't for bad refereeing again we would have gone through to the quarterfinals

Hopefully CSKA do well... they have to
