Head coach of a basketball club CSKA Emile Raikovitch explained how the game of the Moscow team, which was left without top-tier stars, will change in the new season.
This summer, the Rouge-Bleu left the center Nikola Milutinov defenders Alexei Shved and Dallas Moore, forwards Dejan Davidovac and Devontay Kaykok.
– Last week, CSKA played the first two control matches with Parma Perm, both won. What conclusions did you draw after these games?
The team is not ready yet. We only started training six days ago, Casper Weir came back from vacation a few days later. First impressions: you have to work. I tend to think this year to build a game system focused on defense and combat. There are no more talents like Shved and Milutinov at CSKA, which means that other assets will have to be used: functional preparation and scoring through defence. Players who were there last year and stayed will now have to show something more. And take on a higher responsibility,” Raikovich said in an interview with .
The new VTB United League season starts on September 30.
