ZICO TO GIVE ORDIA 2ND UEFA CUP, WARNS GABBY

Zico, Coach of Super Eagles right back Chidi Ordia at CSKA Moscow insists his side will fight on every front as he has laid his eyes upon the UEFA Cup this season. 

Zico joined Ordia from Bunyodkor of Uzbekistan after leading them to a league and cup double to join the Russian giants in January. The former Brazilian ace now has the task of guiding his men to European success and Gagriel Agbonlahor’s high riding English side, Aston Villa stand between his side and a place in the last 16 of the UEFA Cup. The two teams meet in less than two weeks and Zico has warned Agbonlahor’s Villa that his side are up for the fight.

"Aston Villa? There is plenty of time to decide. In any case we will go all out for victory. CSKA must aim to win every tournament the club enters. It is another question how successful we will be," Zico enthused.

Although the former Udinese man stepped into relatively unknown territory in Russia, he insists he was well prepared for the role in Moscow. The ambitious Zico has stressed that Ordia and all his pals must work extra hard in training if they want to win a place in the first XI.

"I knew the CSKA players very well even before I started working at the club, so I have found nothing new since I came here,” Zico added.
