Georgi Vasilev: Steaua now is not a European dimension 5.08.2011

Renowned expert and former football coach Georgi Vassilev said Chernomorets CSKA draw against Steaua. In 1997 he led "red" in the fight against the Romanian team. In Bucharest 3-3 CSKA made, after having led 3-1, but lost in Sofia with 0:2.

"In my time Steaua was very strong European team. Now the team is left with no European glory this magnitude, "were the first words of Georgi Vassilev before.

"This does not mean that Steaua can now be easily overcome. In no case should be underestimated. For me, the chance of CSKA is the compact composition that made Milen Radukanov. In no case, however, is not an advantage that the first match in Bucharest. Ultimately, both times when the CSKA game with Steaua, always the first meeting was in Romania, and was removed.

That team first visited, it is a plus. Like I said, is in serious plus staff who build Radukanov. I watched the game against Litex CSKA in the Super Cup match. For me the only problem is the lack of Markinyos. He feels his absence in midfield as a person who can organize better game, "says Vassilev.

"Litex draw is much heavier than the team. You should not confuse the fact that Dynamo (Kiev) was eliminated by Rubin. Just Rubin had a very high level in those two games, "said Vassilev.

"What about Levski and Lokomotiv (Sofia)? I think the game went Levski until Miliev injured. Green then forced back to defend, which was inconclusive, and open spaces for players of Spartak (Trnava). While Green was in midfield, hTogether with Gadjev, game Levski went confidently. I could not watch the match Lokomotiv. When teams drop out after the shootout is believed that there was no sporting happiness. Another issue is how to train a penalty shootout in a team, "says Vassilev

"I was recently in Germany in Bochum. They defended for three more years of his coaching license. Also had four coaches forum worldwide. Came more than 1,100 sports professionals. There was an official theme for realignment of defense and attack back.

Also very tactical sub. Do not rest now. Head hurts from inactivity. For me it is important to one person is not depressed and keep your spirits high, "said Vassilev confidently.
