I refuse to believe that he's gonna have another season at CSKA. -_- He's one of the ********ing best midfielder in the WORLD right now.
Oh wow, I haven't seen him being so happy after scoring for CSKA in sooooo long. Good stuff. If they'll win this game they're 99% through (1% percent for a crumbling in the home game).
He looks to be in great shape and healthy of course, and most of all hes getting goals and assists which is what people are looking for. If there was ever a market for him, since the WC, its now! I don't really agree with people saying CSKA is such a bad place to play, really his problem has been not being able to stay on the field not that he hasn't been able to play or grow. The Russian league is not the greatest league by a long shot but its decent, at least he plays(when healthy) and his team plays in in Champions league or Europa. We all want him to be in a better more high profile league, but Honda himself either needs to put his foot down and say 'GET ME OUT OF HERE', or just ride it out for another year or so and play the waiting game like he's doing now, until he either signs a contract or possibly gets transferred.
http://www.soccerway.com/matches/20.../allmanna-idrottsklubben/cska-moskva/1370907/ Is this formation accurate? Has he played as a deep-lying MF?
It's always nice to see him score and be happy, but really I can't like CSKA, he's like a prisoner there, qualified to play but not to let his jail...
Absolutely inaccurate. Elm was the deepest lying MF and Honda theoretically was a central attacking midfielder but the trio of Honda, Dzagoev, Tosic were roaming freely interchanging their positions. Nobody had sentenced him, he signed the contract by his own will.
The night before the game: http://www.videos-football.com/video-60093-aik-cska-moscow-good-morning.html It seems like that's pretty popular in Sweden.
I was at the game and Honda played well but it seemed like CSKA played it a bit safe. They came and did what they needed to do, kept a clean sheet and got a goal. Honda or Elm was the MOTM of you ask me. Personally though, I hope Honda will leave CSKA soon, it can't feel good to play in front of a bunch of rasist supporters. I felt sick and angry hearing the away fans monkey chants against AIK's Martin Mutumba, Kwame Karikari and Ibrahim Moro. That kind of behaviour has no place in a civilised society and I hope UEFA will do something about it. The fireworks wake up call is not ok either and I was ashamed reading about it. The ones who did it posted the video on Youtube and it was clear that is was connected to AIK fans. Before the game against Lech Poznan the fire alarm went off during the night in the hotel the Poznan players stayed at and most people thing that i might have been set of by AIK fans. AIK has has condemned these actions.
CSKA about to play in little less than 2hrs.. Let's hope keisuke's names not on the lineup or bench.. That would give us hope for a transfer?? Lol I know I'm dreaming.. He really needs to get out of there..
