CSKA Moscow boss Leonid Slutsky appears to be trying to manage expectations and apply some pressure ahead of the visit of Tottenham Hotspur to the Arena CSKA.
Spurs go to Moscow in need of a win in order to get their Champions League campaign up and running after the dispiriting match day one defeat to Monaco at Wembley.
CSKA drew their first game at Bayer Leverkusen. The Russians will be looking to make home advantage count and create a cauldron-like atmosphere at their new stadium.
Perhaps with that touch of pressure on Mauricio Pochettino's side as they travel to Moscow, Slutsky has decided to try and ramp it up a little more.
