http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Seydou-Doumbia-c33175 has expressed delight following CSKA Moscow’s crucial win against Inter Milan in the Champions League...
In the latest group stage match of UEFA Champions League, CSKA Moscow managed to win 2-1 against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Milan.
CSKA striker, Seydou Doumbia, compiled yet another fabulous performance against the Nerazzurri, scoring the opening goal of the match. The Ivorian striker revealed that he is happy to help the Russian outfit reach the knock-out
stage of the Champions League.
However, the promising striker warned the Moscow-based club against complacency and revealed that they need to work harder, as they will face a sterner test irrespective of whom they are drawn against for the next round.
Doumbia has been in prolific form both in the league and the European front. He played five group stage games in total, as he was suspended for the game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Trabzonspor-c40759, and scored five goals for the Russian outfit.
The former Young Boys forward is the leading goal scorer domestically, having scored 24 goals in 30 appearances.
CSKA were at the bottom of the group table before the clash but a draw between LOSC Lille and Trabzonspor, coupled with CSKA’s win over Inter Milan, moved them to the second spot in the rankings.
Speaking on their fierce league rivals, Zenit St. Petersburg, who have also reached the knock-out stage of the European tournament, the Russian Cup winner said:
“Two Russian teams are now in the Champions League’s playoff round. I don’t think that has ever happened before. I would not mind to celebrate this win along with Zenit.”
The Ivorian national is of the opinion that every football club that progresses to the later stages deserves a little respect, and the Koni need to practice harder for difficult opponents in the next round.
As the Russian Premier League has come to a three-month break, CSKA have, roughly, a month to prepare for the Champions League during the winter break.
Doumbia assured the fans of keeping a fighting attitude and revealed that they will have a stronger side in January, when some of the fringe players will return to action after returning from respective injuries.
