The methods of Bruno Akrapovich at the head of CSKA are beginning to pay off. This was pointed out in an interview with TOPSPORT Days ago and the legend of the club – Asparuh Nikodimov. The Bosnian is adamant in his intention to impose a 3-5-2 lineup. With each passing game, his players get more and more used to this game and perform well.
“A chicken cannot fly while the army is on guard,” CSKA fans sang in one of their songs. It is relevant again if we talk about the defense of the team and the radical change in this line under Akrapovich. Last night CSKA failed to beat Cluj in Romania. The Reds created several excellent goal positions, but never scored one. In the second half they put pressure on the opponent, and there were no situations against Gustavo Busato. The Brazilian had to intervene once, before the break. Excellently saving a strong blow to the opponent after a Jefferson error and a weak return of the ball to the guard. CSKA did not concede a goal and had one of their best games this season Petar zanev and Jürgen Matej. Both were at a high level, as was right-back Thibaut Vion. Despite the Frenchman’s poor start to the game and the quick yellow card in the first minute, he eventually entered the class and deserves praise.

In 4 games with Bruno Akrapovich at the helm, CSKA conceded just one goal, in the 0: 1 loss to Young Boys in Sofia. Naked, falling from a small angle into the thick fog of the “Vasil Levski” stadium. The Reds defeated Botev (Ihtiman) for the Bulgarian Cup with 5: 0 (the biggest victory of the campaign so far), and in the Efbet League they beat FC CSKA 1948 with 2: 0 from the “Army”. To get to zero last night. Thus, the team accumulated 3 “dry nets” in a short time. And in the 19 games before Akrapovich there were only 4 – in victories with 1: 0 over Slavia and Tsarsko Selo, in BATE with 2: 0 and in 0: 0 against Rome in “Olimpico”. Two of them are with Stamen Belchev, two with Daniel Morales. Bruno already leads them with a “dry” net, after only 4 games.
CSKA conceded 22 goals in 19 games before signing the Bosnian specialist. Which is unacceptable. You can afford to score so frequently if you have forwards who can counterattack and score at least one more goal than your opponent. If a good goalkeeper is a mid-team, imagine him with a solid defense in front of him. Then things will work out.

CSKA visibly and quickly strengthened the defense and this cannot come as much of a surprise when we talk about Bruno Akrapovich and his favorite 3-5-2 scheme. It’s a good start, but there’s a lot of work to do up front. Especially for the precision and the shot of Ali Sow, who last night came out in excellent situations, but still did not score and quite disappointed. Yes, he’s great, he fights, he’s useful in defense, but the main job of a center forward is to score goals. With these qualities and the efficiency of Fernando Caranga, CSKA will most likely leave the group.
The start of Akrapovich at the head of the “Army” is good: a mandatory and devastating success for the Bulgarian Cup, a mandatory and routine success against FC CSKA 1948, a good match in Romania. The downside is still the Young Boys’ loss. Another point could definitely be gained from this meeting. The defense still does not allow “a chicken to fly”, but the attack must convince. In the next match with Botev in Komatevo.
CSKA must regret not winning in Romania
Cluj was overtaken by the “Army”
