CSKA Moscow is a well-known Russian sports club, the predecessor of history is a ski club founded in 1901, CSKA football team was officially established in 1928, their abbreviation is the famous "CDKA".

They have won several top-flight football league titles in Russia and also beat Sporting Lisbon in 2004/05 to win the UEFA Cup that year.

In the draw for the Champions League group stage of the new season, CSKA was seeded in Pot 1 as last season's Russian Premier League champions, and ended up in Group E alongside Bayer Leverkusen, Tottenham and Monaco.

After the results of this season's Champions League group stage draw were announced, Group C, consisting of Barcelona, Manchester City, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Celtic, was widely considered to be the "Group of Death", with the exception of Barcelona, the remaining three who will fight to the death for the only qualifying spot.

Unexpectedly, Barcelona bloodied Celtic 7:0 at home in the first round of the game, and Manchester City was not to be outdone, also beating Borussia Mönchenchen 4:0 at home.

After two rounds of matches, there is no suspense about qualifying for Group C, with Barcelona and Manchester City battling it out for the top spot in the remaining fixtures.

Now people have changed their opinions, and the general consensus is that the real "death" is more like Group E.

After two rounds, the Russian Premier League champions, who are the first seeded team, have only one point in Group E, while Monaco, the fourth pot, has taken the top spot in the group with one win and one draw.

It is generally accepted that Tottenham, Bayer Leverkusen and Monaco are not far behind each other, and they are all higher than the first-tier CSKA. Considering that the overall strength of the three teams is very close, it is this group that is crucial for each game.

Yaldim concluded that every home team in the group must give it their all. The match against CSKA, the weakest opponents in the group, will be crucial and key to maintaining the lead over Bayer Leverkusen and Tottenham.

Li Liang and everyone came to CSKA's new home - the CSKA Arena in Moscow, which has just been put into use this season. It was a brand new, modern professional stadium with a capacity of 30,000 people, and the game was just over an hour away, but the enthusiastic fans were already filling the stands.

When the fans were warming up, the fans had already shouted loudly, and the loudness of the voice made Li Liang impressed, to be honest, the momentum of these nearly 30,000 Russian fans is not inferior to the new Wembley of 85,000 people, and the lung capacity of these Russian fans is obviously not covered!

Li Liang also noticed that there was a high isolation fence erected in the middle of the stands behind the goals on both sides, and he asked Spinoli who warmed up with everyone, and the well-informed Italian told Li Liang that this is very common in Russian football stadiums and is basically standard.

Usually the seats behind the goal are usually allocated to the away fans, and the Russians believe that everything can be solved with their fists, and if one punch is not enough, another punch!

Such guardrails are the boundaries that are meant to separate the fans of the away team from the fans of the home team, because fan brawls in the Russian Premier League are all too common.

When Li Liang was listening to this, his eyes suddenly went dark, and the appearance of an unusually tall figure jumped him! When he fixed his eyes on two long legs that were almost as tall as himself, he immediately realized that he had met an old friend.

The Monaco players all happily came over and greeted Rasine Traore, the center of the Ivorian giants, whom they called Lasine Big Tree.

The 2.03m Ivory Coast international, who spent the season at Monaco and joined CSKA on loan this season, will start today's game and come to greet his old team-mates before the game.

At the end of the warm-up, after a simple opening ceremony, the players of both sides came out, and Li Liang and his teammates wrapped in thick down jackets followed behind and walked to the away team's bench.

Suddenly, a piece of white flowers in the stands caught his attention, and after looking at it twice, Li Liang immediately couldn't help laughing.

This is hundreds of CSKA die-hard fans, a Russian big man in the water, all shirtless in temperatures close to 0 degrees! They look very well nourished, white in the stadium lights, and stand out in the red and blue grandstand seats.

It is not uncommon for shirtless fans to be shirtless, in the match against Grand Paris, the Parisian fans stripped off their shirts at Capdale Point at the beginning, and when Monaco led 3-1 at the last moment, thousands of home fans also excitedly played shirtless - but it was the warm weather at the end of August, how could it be compared to Moscow at night?!

Li Liang couldn't help but sigh, seeing that this posture was ready to "light" the audience, the Russians, who are known as the fighting nation, are really special cows!

This game has attracted a lot of attention. One of the biggest heavyweights was Chelsea boss Roman Abramovic in the box, who watched the game in the company of CSKA president Yevgeny Ginel and Monaco vice-president Vasilyev.

Nigerian Amenalo, the most powerful figure in Chelsea's management, sat on the sidelines with CSKA and Monaco management to discuss their line-ups with interest.

The three clubs have very similar backgrounds, with Chelsea and Monaco having wealthy Russian owners, while Abou is much more high-profile than Abu, who of course has had better results for Chelsea.

CSKA on loan from Monaco, Chelsea taking over when Falcao was desperate at Manchester United, and Monaco on loan from Chelsea to Pasalic are all linked to the special relationship between the three clubs.

Team reporter Biel Ghazi was also present with the team, and two Uzbekistan internationals, Denisov and Akhmedov, who also play in the Russian Premier League, also appeared in the stands to watch the Champions League match.

Because of Li Liang, the sports channel also broadcast the game live, and the old duo of He Wei and Xue Yang were introducing the basic situation of the two sides in the studio.

What made the two of them happy and the fans who stayed up late to watch the game was that Li Liang appeared on the bench list again.

The Hurricanes teammates didn't stay up late to watch the game because they still had training the next day.

In addition to working during the day, Xiaoyu spends the rest of his time reviewing and preparing for various exams related to the qualification of declaring brokers. She set her alarm clock, woke up on time and sat down in front of the computer.

What made her happy was that everyone in the barrage was talking about Li Liang. Many netizens are worried about whether Li Liang will be able to get a chance to play in today's game after leaving the team for three weeks.

With the referee's whistle, the game finally began.

Yaldim finally decided to switch to 433 before the start of the game, with goalkeeper Subaic, left-back Raj, right-back Sidibi, and the two central defenders are still the old pair of Glick and Rzemelsen.

The three midfielders, from left to right, are Moutinho, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Fabinho; Germain is in the centre up front, with Silva and Lemar on the left and right.

After some deliberation, Jardim decided to remove Carrillo, who was scheduled to start. This formation looks more aggressive, but in fact, from the perspective of staffing, it can change to 4231 at any time.

Jardim still decided to focus on stability, and it would be a good result to get one point in this unfavorable environment.

CSKA coach Slutsky got his hands on the latest Monaco squad and immediately decided to start attacking and trying to score first.

The course of the game turned out as Slutsky expected, and Monaco's attack was basically tentative and very cautious.

Slutsky immediately walked to the sidelines, waved his arms vigorously, and told his disciples to press the attack.

He knows very well that if he can't get three points from Monaco in this game, there is no hope of qualifying from the group.
