http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Seydou-Doumbia-c33175 urges CSKA Moscow to focus after Russian Premier League defeat against Rubin Kazan
CSKA Moscow striker, Seydou Doumbia, has lamented his performance after missing from the penalty spot in the latest 2-1 Russian Premier League defeat against Rubin Kazan at Luzhniki stadium.
It was a nightmare start for the home team as they conceded a goal early on before it was cancelled out by the Ivorian national on the other end. The second period of the match saw Doumbia blast a penalty well wide from the target,
and Rubin later socred the winner.
“All teams are on equal footing. It is difficult to highlight any team winner before the draw. Ruby are also a big club and they appear in European competition. It will only add to their confidence.” The Russian Cup winner was
quoted as saying.
The former Young Boys' player has been enjoying blistering form since the start of second round in the Russian championship, with 24 goals in 29 appearances for the Russian outfit. However, the 23-year-old is still not satisfied
with his performance, and revealed that he could have done better.
Speaking on the refereeing decision during the match, Doumbia is of the opinion that the match officials were on top of the game, blowing the whistle wisely during the league encounter against the Tatary.
With introduction of a third round by the Russian Football Union, the Russian outfits have to look after the pitches under extreme weather conditions. Doumbia revealed that he has adjusted to it.
“I have adopted playing in such conditions. Of course, it’s not easy but I'm a professional footballer and must carry out my work in any weather.”
The Armeytsy front man, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vagner-c35793 Love, was not involved in the match after sustaining an injury, and that left Doumbia as the lone striker. The Ivory Coast attacker admitted that absence of the Brazilian national was deeply felt
throughout the match.
CSKA will travel to Makhachkala before hosting Lille in group stage of UEFA Champions League. Doumbia revealed that they are already prepared for the upcoming matches.
