CSKA head coach Emile Raikovitch told ” that the Moscow club did not work well with the defender’s injuries Alexei Shved and center Nikola Milutinov at the end of last season.
CSKA under Raikovich’s guidance, he became a bronze medalist of the 2022/23 VTB United League season. The Swede and Milutinov left the Rouge-Bleu in the offseason.
“There are times when we deserve criticism. This applies not only to the technical staff, but to the whole club. There are few such points, but they do exist. In particular, the tactical nuances. Also, I would reconsider the attitude towards Shved’s injury and recovery. The team leader was absent for two months, but this period could be reduced to one and a half or even a month, then Aleksey would be better prepared for the semi-finals with Lokomotiv-Kuban. A very important aspect for us. Like Milutinov’s injury: in the playoffs he actually played on one leg. I think that in both cases it was possible to bring the leaders with more preparation to the decisive matches.
– Do you now blame the medical staff or the technical staff?
– I am ultimately responsible for both, so it makes sense to talk about the shortcomings of the whole club. It is wrong to blame only doctors, if only because they are under pressure from coaches, managers and players. We all should have worked better,” Raikovich said in an interview with .
