“It is quite possible that in the series of semi-finals between CSKA and Lokomotiv we will see seven matches” – Elevich

Honored Coach of Russia Sergei Elevitch in a conversation with a correspondent, he did not rule out that CSKA And Lokomotiv Kuban you will have to play the maximum number of matches to determine the winner of the VTB United League semi-final playoff series.

After two games in Moscow, the series score is equal – 1-1. The next two meetings will take place in Krasnodar on April 20 and 22.

– CSKA have now injured Nikola Milutinov. I don’t know how long he’s been gone, but for the army, of course, it’s a certain problem. Because all the rebound and the components of the game in defense and attack are largely based on him. It attracts a large number of players. So the question here is who are they going to release at the center, what are they going to offer in that regard. But it is clear that CSKA has a reserve and he will find a replacement.

Nevertheless, Alexander (Sekulich) dominated his CSKA colleague (Emil Raikovich – about “”). Largely due to substitutions. And yes, it was fun to play. He is curious to know what Loko will be able to invent in the confrontation with the Red-Bleu. But CSKA can in no way be ruled out, I am deeply convinced of that. I think Milutinov will recover in a week and there will already be a different picture.

In general, now, after two games, I will not give preference to anyone here. To date, they are two equal clubs in the game. I really liked Lokomotiv. He could have won the first game, and it’s only fair that he won the second game. My opinion is that Loko has grown and now two clubs have come together who don’t want to concede each other. So it will be interesting, and it is quite possible that we will see seven games here,” Yelevich told a correspondent.
