Head coach of basketball “Zenith” Javier Pascual after a home defeat against CSKA in the regular season match of the United League, VTB noted that the teams initially found themselves in unequal conditions, since the opponent had more time to rest.
On Sunday, Zenit lost to CSKA. The meeting in St. Petersburg ended with a score of 80:76 in favor of the guests.
— I would like to thank the fans who came to the arena. If I’m not mistaken, there were about six thousand people. This means that the club is working in the right direction.
The two home matches we played were completely different. We entered this match with a record of 1-1, CSKA – 2-2. Zenit had one day to prepare and CSKA five. Today we didn’t do much offensively. In the second half we entered the field with a different attitude, we did better in defense and attack. We missed several key moments to win. In games like this, where everyone is equal, you have to be perfect. We have a long season ahead of us, we will correct the mistakes and move towards victories.
Vince Hunter is an important player for us. Dublevitch and Hunter played important roles in the Super Bowl. Today the team is in decline, but each player must improve their game. In the match against Uralmash we did not play correctly, but today’s match cannot be called a failure, everyone wanted to win. I am convinced that the team will improve its game and achieve good performances,” reports a correspondent, reports Pascual’s words.
CSKA won the third victory in three matches of the new season, Zenit suffered a second defeat with a victory.
