As described in predmatchevoy press conference head coach Ziko Army, the issue involved in the match against Donetsk «Shakhtar» just two team leaders - Yuri Zhirkova and Wagner Love. Both player were in the game for the Super Cup against Russia, Kazan «Rubin» minor damage and three days is not practiced. However, this statement may be nothing more than an attempt to confuse the opponent.
 
Ziko Ways and mentor «Shakhtar» Romanian Lucescu already overlap. Twenty years ago, during his farewell match Ziko favored Brazilian team, which opposed the team under the leadership of the world Lucescu. Team coach of the CSKA then ceded - 1:2.
 
Throughout its history, and CSKA «Shakhtar» met 73 times. 36 matches ended in victory for Moscow, 22 games left for «Shakhtar», a 15-fold difference of the opponents of peace. The last time between the rivals have met for just over a year ago on the First Channel Cup in Israel. Then the miners were stronger. At this time, the favorite is listed CSKA, though «Shakhtar» always considered it kubkovoy team. «Shakhtar» four times won the USSR Cup and played four more times in the finals. CSKA won the USSR Cup five times and three times was in the finals.

In 1983, a ticket to the match of the teams was worth 20 cents. Today - from 500 rubles.

 
And at this time 

Petersburg's «Zenit» went to Italy, where proekzamenuet familiar to our fans «Udinese». The Italians came in the autumn «Luzhniki» to match with the Moscow «Spartak», which were in one group. Red-white «Udinese» defeated - 1:2, but the «Zenit» today looks much more powerful team than the «Spartak». It is therefore considered to be the favorite for the upcoming confrontation питерцы, which are also come to a meeting nearly optimum. Not able to play only defender Lomberts.
 
Before the meeting питерцы made a valuable acquisition: the Turkish «Galatasaraya» was bought by Portuguese defender Fernando Meira. However, to help the team in the UEFA Cup, he has no right.
