The CSKA coach Bruno Akrapovič gave his most interesting interview since leading the team. He did it in front of BNT reporter Rosen Stanchev.
Here’s what the Bosnian had to say about the Arena Sport show:
“At no time since I came to CSKA has my future at the club worried me. When I decide something, I do it. And being wrong, it’s my fault. We know what it’s like in football: fans rejoice after a win and get angry after a loss or a bad game. This is your right. It is a sport of emotions and adrenaline. I want my team to always show the desire to play.
I have reviewed CSKA before. With a quick game and a few taps, good things can be done. CSKA have always played openly and aggressively. Things can be put on the fast track. Plus the press, which we imposed in Loko (Plovdiv). We have to push the opponent high. In all the teams I have been as a coach, I have won something or I have been the first. I had good and unexpected results everywhere. It was a matter of time. I have always believed in my qualities. Everything I did, I did it myself. Nobody can tell me that the credit belongs to someone else. I am proud, I have my way.
I have always loved almost all CSKA players in Loko. I saw its quality. It is always difficult to play against CSKA. What world player would put me on the team if I could? Messi would have said months ago. Now I want Zlatan Ibrahimovic here. Just enjoy its qualities. And at this age he shows seriousness and professionalism.
Yes, I have Italian citizenship. Nothing is accidental. I had to come to CSKA to beat Roma. No, I’m kidding a bit … If a coach is not confident, the players understand immediately. And they catch it. Footballers are wise and cunning. They know which coach has qualities and who they can joke with. But also with whom to work seriously.
How do Roma fight, when all the indicators in the match statistics were in their favor? A coach said “You are sitting in a bar with a girl. You talk to her for two hours, get her cocktails. Two hours later another arrives and takes her to her room.“The first one had a stronger position, but another won it. This is football, there are different ways to win. Roma did not have a 100% chance of a goal like ours.”
After the victory, my oldest son wrote to me: “Who is Fonseca?” He jokes a lot, he has my style.
CSKA must become a team that scares all opponents. Everyone to give more than 100% to win something against us. The opponent must be afraid to play against us. Ludogorets need to know: we are here and we will do our best to bring them down from top to bottom.
How do I motivate myself? I imagine a stadium full of songs and carrying the players on their shoulders. That motivates me.
I want to lead CSKA against Tottenham. To find them again and this time to beat them. I hope everyone is happy with my work. God only knows what I’ll accomplish here. I want, years later, when I return to CSKA, to continue speaking well of myself.
What did I say to the players in midfield before the Roma game? Here it is: “CSKA, these are four capital letters. You deserve to play for this team. I want you to show it on the field. Let people know that you play with heart and desire.”

“The team has a stable owner who seems to want to rebuild the club.”
