“I don’t see what Zenit can oppose to CSKA in the upcoming match. The team is in a recession now. —Elevich

For the moment “Zenith” is in decline and cannot compete CSKA in the next VTB United League game, Russia’s honored coach says in a chat with Sergei Elevitch .

CSKA and Zenit will play on February 6 in Moscow. The army team is at the top of the group A standings, Zenit is in third place. This season, the Muscovites have won 24 wins without losing a single game, while the Petersburgers have 17 wins and 7 losses.

– Can Zenit stop CSKA’s winning march this time? Rajkovic’s side are now gaining momentum, and what I like is that the coach is making full use of the depth in the team. That is, he guesses situations where you need to put someone. CSKA reinforces the game all the time with basketball players coming out.

At Zenit, it is impossible to say that everything is in order. Let’s say Tompkins is not in the form he was in when he played at Real Madrid. Ertel makes a lot of losses. I think at the moment Zenit don’t look competitive. I don’t know what will happen next, but so far. For the moment, I do not see what they can add. Because of Karasev and Ertel alone, they won’t come out. Now, I don’t see that when someone walks into the court, they give some push that they’re ready to take the initiative. The current situation suggests that the army team has a good chance of success in this game. For the moment, I do not see what Zenit can oppose to CSKA.

Of course, teams have downfalls. And we see it now at Zenith. The team itself is good. And UNICS is also experiencing this decline, but Lokomotiv in recent matches, on the contrary, pleasantly surprised, – said Elevich “”.
