Igor Korneev expecting CSKA Moscow to win Super Cup – Football news
Igor Korneev has backed CSKA Moscow to win the Russian Super Cup against Zenit St. Petersburg, saying that the Moscow-based club have become the favourites to win another trophy especially after making decent signings during the ongoing summer transfer window.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078 central midfielder, meanwhile, urged mega rich Anzhi Makhachkala to claim a place above Luciano Spalletti’s men on the Russian Premier League table next season.
“CSKA have an excellent opportunity to win the prestigious title and it will definitely help them prior to the beginning of the championship. I have not followed the pre season tour but when you consider the purchase and everything that happens around the
two clubs, CSKA have more chances to win. Zenit have always belonged to the category of teams that fight for the gold but when compared with Anzhi, who have greatly strengthened this season, the blue-white-blue are inferior to them. I think that the Makhachkala
club are the main contenders for the title this season,” the former RCD Espanyol player was quoted as saying.
CSKA have made two marquee signings so far this summer: http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Georgi-Milanov-c14617. The Russian outfit signed the aforementioned players from Grasshopper and Litex respectively.
Korneev is of the belief that the new signings will help the Moscow-based club in winning their third trophy of the season, having already won the league title and domestic cup last season.
CSKA will lock horns with the St. Petersburg club in the Russian Super Cup at Rostov-on-don on Saturday. Going into the crunch encounter, CSKA will be without http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandrs-Cauna-c4627 and Mario Fernandes.

However, still believes that Leonid Slutsky will win the match after naming a starting eleven with worthy replacement of the injured players.
Korneev went on to lavish praise on Anzhi’s transfer campaign, saying that they have been fortunate to sign http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandr-Kokorin-c4576 from Zenit and Dynamo Moscow respectively.
