CSKA defender Ivan Ukhov On the eve of the match with Minsk in the VTB United League, he noted the opponent’s mobile game and assertiveness, and also invited Red-Blues fans to a meeting with the team.
CSKA will face Minsk in the VTB United League regular season home game on October 8 at Megasport. The game starts at 2:00 p.m. (Moscow time).
– How do you find the performance of your team in the first match of the season with Samara?
– In general, the match (85:72 in favor of CSKA – editor’s note) was good, except that we were no longer complete. Due to illness, Anton Astapkovich and Semyon Antonov could not attend this meeting. Again, in principle, we had a good match. But there is, of course, something to work on. Still not without errors, but this is only the beginning. In general, we try to improve with each game. I hope we will follow our plan and show our best basketball,” Ukhov told .
– On Saturday, in the first home game of the new United League season, CSKA meets Minsk. How do you like your opponent’s current game?
“Of course, we have already looked at it. The adversary is very mobile. He likes to attack from the first screen, from the first attack. Do not hesitate to throw three-pointers, even if they are not very comfortable. So we have to be ready for that and stop their quick break so that they don’t feel their game in that component, and already from the defense we have to act in our attack.
We are looking forward to the fans at our home game and then – come, we will be happy to see you, talk, take pictures, – added Ukhov.
