– Probably, everyone expected there to be a tougher fight. It seems to me that the game can be divided into two parts. In the first match, UNICS defended well and played very well in attack, while Zenit were able to resist thanks to good doubles with Ertel, found gaps, scored three points and kept themselves at a decent level . At the start of the second half, it looked like UNICS were better prepared for the match. He beat his opponent in almost every way. And on the training decisions and the dedication of the players.
Now there is an acute question: the victory with such a big difference was won more thanks to the good and successful game of UNICS and the not so good actions of Zenit, or is the team of Velimir Perasovich better prepared for these games? This is perhaps the main question. Because often such defeats have a strong impact on the team.
The next match will show how psychologically stable Zenit is. It will be decisive in many respects. If UNICS can win, then the initiative will pass to them completely. It will be much more difficult for Zenit to balance the situation, Eremin told a correspondent.
The next game in the series up to four wins will take place on April 18 in Kazan. Watch the live broadcast on the channel from 7:25 p.m.
