The book by football journalist Denis Tselykh is a kind of retrospective of the life of the CSKA football club over the past eight seasons. As a columnist for various publications - the newspapers "Soviet Sport", "Eurofootball", "Football + Hockey", the magazine "Total Football" - he followed the team over the years: went to training camps, away matches, talked with players and coaches and shared his observations with readers. This book is an attempt to remember how CSKA’s rise began, how the team grew and developed, how it won in the domestic and international arena. Here you will find interviews with leading CSKA football players - Vagner Love, Yuri Zhirkov, Igor Akinfeev, Alan Dzagoev, coach Valery Gazzaev and president Evgeny Giner - and in addition, the author presents his view on the development of the army club in the 2000s.
