The former Uralan Elista manager promises the fans of getting positive results in the remaining matches of the Russian Premier League campaign.
CSKA Moscow head coach, Leonid Slutsky, has apologized to the fans following the poor Russian Premier League results. However, he insisted that his team still has a decent chance to salvage something from their crumbling season,
although the hopes of securing a Champions League spot are slim.
CSKA enjoyed contrasting fortunes in the second legue round. The Moscow-based club were 7 points ahead of the current table-toppers, Zenit St. Petersburg, until the end of the second league round.
The Meshki leapfrogged CSKA after the Red-blues failed to retain their lead atop the table. As things stand, the Koni are at the fourth-spot and trail the last Champions League spot by 2 points.
The Armeytsy, who managed a shock 1-1 draw against Real Madrid in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991, failed to meet the fans' expectations after losing the momentum that took them so close to the title in November.
Injuries have made it only worse for Slutsky, who has been without the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Igor-Akinfeev-c16676 for greater parts of the season.
“We had chances of a successful outcome during the last games. However, we believe that we can turn the tables in the remaining matches. We need to claim a decent finish to end the turbulent season. We should not blame the injuries
behind the failure and face the reality with heads up high.
“We have failed to meet the fans expectations and I am sorry for that but I think the tough time will help us be strong.” The Russian Cup winner was quoted as saying.
Slutsky’s men could have closed down the gap from the top had they not suffered a 2-0 defeat against Zenit at Petrovsky stadium.
Slutsky lamented the situation, admitting that his side deserved the hammering after putting in a weak performance. He urged his team to work harder in the remaining matches and assured the fans of a decent performance in the upcoming
home game against Dynamo Moscow.
