Defender of Lokomotiv-Kuban Alexander Shcherbenev After Zenit’s defeat in the last match of the United League Super Cup, VTB told that the team was extremely unpleasant to lose the second final in the last four months.
The Krasnodar team lost to the St. Petersburg club with a score of 83:85 and became the silver medalist of the tournament. In May, Lokomotiv lost to UNICS in the United League final series.
— Today you were one of the most valuable players in Loko’s lineup, the fight was very close, however, your team just lacked success. This must be very disappointing?
— It’s always unpleasant to lose in the final, especially when it’s the second final in four months. But Zenit won deservedly. My game? I tried to help the team as much as possible. Of course, it would have been better to play worse, but we would have won. This means there is something to work on. Apparently, they are not ready to become champions yet.
But it’s still the very beginning of the season. We are sure that such tournaments will strengthen us and I hope that by the end of the season we will be ready to win the title. In any case, in the United League this must be proven again and again. No one will give you a place in the final. Now we will turn the page after this defeat, we will prepare for the first championship match. Every victory is worth its weight in gold. It’s a shame, but, God willing, everything is in front of us, ”Shcherbenev told .
The VTB United League season will begin on September 30. Watch live broadcasts of matches on TV channels of the Match holding company, as well as on the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
