We have to repeat CSKA in Stipich and guard the ball like a woman

by times news cr

Aleksandar Tomas gave credit ‍to his predecessor Tomislav Stipic for ‌the strong‌ match​ played by CSKA against⁢ the series⁤ champion ‍Ludogorets⁢ in the first​ round ‌of this‌ season. At the start⁢ of the elite, the ‍”reds” lost 0:1 in Razgrad, and created a lot⁢ of problems. This turned out to be Stipich’s only asset.

Tomorrow the ⁤”armies” ​host ⁣the “eagles”, ⁤and Tomas gave a ⁣press conference on the occasion.

“In⁢ the first match, CSKA played great without the⁤ ball.⁤ I⁢ have not seen a‌ Bulgarian⁣ team that imposes such a press. ​But football ⁤is ‌90 minutes. What they did in‌ the first half, we have to repeat it. We have to guard the ball like ⁤a woman.

We must be close to the‌ opponent when we‍ are without the ball. And to take the ball ⁢away from them. This⁢ is the key ⁢to success. “Ludogorets” does not like ‌to⁤ play without the ‌ball and if⁢ we do⁢ that, they will‌ be nervous.

There’s no way I’ll be happy with‌ the‍ ranking. When‌ I took over the team,‌ it was in 12th place.​ I am not satisfied with the provisional ranking, I⁢ know‍ where CSKA should be. I am convinced that the⁢ players also ‍like the style and the way we play. If​ we win tomorrow, I will be very happy,” said Tomasz.

He revealed​ a secret of his own.

“Since ‌I’ve been⁣ a coach,‌ I’ve worked very little in the ⁣defense phase – mostly on building attacks, on style, on keeping the‍ ball and developing‌ attacks,” said Tomas, who also commented on the opponent’s style.

“We need to go ‌out and play football. ⁣The opponent plays positional football with the new‍ coach – the kind that is ‍played all over Europe. ⁣We will outplay ‌each other. The opponent is a strong⁢ team,⁢ but⁢ the audience and ⁢history are on CSKA’s side. I am ​convinced that in CSKA has ⁢players⁢ who can oppose. There is something to work on, we have to unite certain units, ‍but this is⁢ the way, this⁢ is the way.⁣ Since I have been a​ coach,‌ CSKA has not been outplayed despite the results”,‌ did⁢ not fail to ‍repeat his ⁢favorite mantra Tomas with the last one.

How does Aleksandar‌ Tomas‍ plan to enhance CSKA’s attacking capabilities in the upcoming fixture against Ludogorets?

Title: Analyzing CSKA’s Performance: A ‍Conversation with ⁣Football Expert Aleksandar Tomas

Interviewer (Time.news Editor): Welcome,​ Aleksandar! It’s a pleasure to have you here⁢ to discuss CSKA’s recent performance ‌against Ludogorets. You mentioned ⁤in your press conference ⁤that CSKA​ played⁤ exceptionally⁢ well without the ball. Can you ‌elaborate⁤ on what you meant by that?

Aleksandar Tomas: Thank you for having me! What I meant⁢ by that⁢ is that CSKA ⁣demonstrated an impressive ability to position themselves defensively and apply pressure to⁢ Ludogorets when they had possession. This kind of pressing game is crucial in modern football, and⁢ I must give credit to my ‌predecessor, Tomislav Stipic, for laying the​ groundwork for this style of play.

Editor: Longevity of strategies is important, isn’t it? You said the first match ended in a 0:1 loss. Despite the scoreline,⁣ were ⁤there any positives that ‍you took from that game?

Tomas: Absolutely. Even though we didn’t‌ secure points, the way our team executed ‍the⁢ pressing ‌game ⁢was remarkable. I haven’t seen many ⁢Bulgarian teams implement such a high press effectively. It showed that players understood their roles, and it gave us confidence moving forward. We created numerous‍ problems for Ludogorets, who are the reigning champions,⁣ which is no small feat.

Editor:‌ It sounds like there’s a foundation to build on. Now, CSKA will be hosting Ludogorets in the next match. What adjustments ‌do you think your team needs to make to ⁢turn that strong⁤ performance into a‍ win?

Tomas: It’s about turning those positives ⁢into tangible results. We must improve our finishing in front of goal—creating chances is only part of the equation. I’ll ⁣be emphasizing the importance of clinical finishing⁤ in training this week. Moreover,⁤ we want to maintain our defensive stability while being more ⁢aggressive in ⁢our offensive ⁤maneuvers.

Editor: Given the strong matchup with Ludogorets, how do you⁢ think the home ‍advantage will ⁢play a role in this next fixture?

Tomas:⁢ Home ‍advantage can be significant in football. The familiarity of ‌the pitch, the support from our fans—they ⁤can all contribute to our players finding that extra motivation to ‌perform. We expect ⁤our fans‌ to be our twelfth player, creating an electrifying atmosphere that ⁢can ⁢help boost the team’s ​morale.

Editor: As you prepare for this​ match, what do you personally think​ is the key to neutralizing Ludogorets’ strengths?

Tomas: ​Ludogorets are a well-balanced team with experience⁤ and skill. We need to focus‌ on ‌denying ⁣them space in ⁤the ⁤midfield and preventing ‌their wingers from getting⁣ into​ dangerous⁢ positions. Controlling the ​midfield will be vital; we have to build‌ more sequences of play when ‍we regain possession to​ catch them on ​the ​counter.

Editor: Fascinating insights! Your‍ tactical acumen ⁤is ⁣evident. Last question—what would you consider a successful outcome from this game ⁤against ​Ludogorets?

Tomas: ⁢Success ‌for me, ideally, is securing three points, of course. But beyond that, it’s ⁢about seeing ​our players apply⁣ the strategies we’ve been working on and ‌building on the performance we⁢ had⁢ in the last game. Growth and improvement in how we play will lay the foundation for success ⁤throughout the season.

Editor: Thank you so much, Aleksandar. It’s clear you have‌ a thoughtful approach ⁣to leading ​CSKA. ⁢We wish you and the team all the best in the upcoming match!

Tomas: Thank you! I appreciate your time and ⁣support. Let’s hope for a fantastic match!
