Calmness in the Chaos: Roman Naguchev Discusses Fabio Celestinis Steady Approach at CSKA

Well-known football commentator **[Roman Naguchev](https://example.com/tags/39057-roman-naguchev/)** explained the calm demeanor of CSKA Moscow’s head coach **[Fabio Celestini](https://example.com/tags/44264-fabio-chelestini/)** in the latest episode of the Championship podcast titled «Premier League of Injustice.» The Swiss coach took over the army team this summer.

«This is about self-awareness. I have a name, I’m reasonably well-off, and I’ve just won a championship. My life is quite interesting. I’m only 47 years old, still a young man. Why should I… I’m Swiss. I’ve only experienced stress a couple of times in my life, maybe twice in total. This sense of calmness transfers to the players as well. What does Celestini need to prove? He was a member of the Swiss national team for many years. It’s essential to understand this mindset. I’ve proved everything to everyone. I’ve played well and, by Swiss standards, I’m quite a recognized player. I’ve just won the Swiss Championship. And you live with the confidence of being a successful and accomplished individual. I won’t starve, I’m doing what I love, and oh, I’ve been invited to CSKA – that’s an exciting challenge. I’ll go there.

I believe a person with a stable and normal psyche tends to think like this throughout their career. When you’re a successful person or a football star and you can’t handle yourself, it naturally affects the players. Everyone talks about it being how it should be, that it’s authenticity and so forth. That’s absolute nonsense. It actually hinders the players. All those who have dealt with coaches who are chaotic on the sidelines know this… It becomes a problem when it’s uncontrollable and happens constantly. There’s nothing genuine about it. It simply shows that the individual can’t maintain self-control. Sooner or later, that gets passed to the team, which becomes a reflection of that. Some teams thrive under such circumstances, while others struggle. If they win trophies, then it’s clearly beneficial. It’s that straightforward. And Celestini embodies that. He came in with a specific formation but is ready to adjust it to four midfielders, showing where to adapt to the situation. We’re going to train for that,” Naguchev stated in the podcast «Premier League of Injustice.»
