If the injury does not allow Nikola Milutinov to play in the next matches CSKA it won’t be easy but the army team must come together and not miss out on VTB United League bronze, honored Russia coach tells Sergei Elevitch .
CSKA beat Zenit on Friday in St. Petersburg in the fourth game of the series for third place (77:72). During the match, Nikola Milutinov was injured. The score of the four-game winning streak became 3-1 in favor of the army team. The next game will take place in Moscow on May 15.
– To be honest, I didn’t expect CSKA to play so well for the second game in a row. It seemed at one point that Zenit had all but broken the game, but the army team rallied. Here too Milutinov was injured. But they survived – well done. I think there are ankle problems, and he already had some. So, it seems to me that it is not excluded that he gives up before the end of the season. God forbid if not.
Without Milutinov, of course, it will not be easy for them. Will the Army team win bronze in the next game of the series? Last year, CSKA won the final series against Zenit 3-1, but failed to win. Then there was an injury to Shved in the last game. I wouldn’t guess. Nevertheless, in the last two games, CSKA showed fighting qualities. It is very important. I think the army team still has to come together and not miss the bronze medals. I’m not saying they should do it right in the next game, but they have to win a game,” Elevich told correspondent.
