Basketball players »Runes “I will do everything possible to be among the leaders of the VTB United League as quickly as possible,” the general director of the Moscow club, Sergei Yukhnevich, told .
On Wednesday, Runa will host Parma at home. The game starts at 20:00 (Moscow time). At the start of the season, the tournament debutant had recorded three wins and one loss in four matches. Parma played three matches and won one victory.
— In the last match of the VTB League against Paris Nizhny Novgorod, Runa had a good chance of sending the match to overtime. What went wrong?
— In principle, the game was quite balanced: either Nizhni stood out, or we followed the opponent’s heels a little. Indeed, there was not enough stability during the game, some good actions in defense…
— In the next match you will play at home against Parma, who beat Lokomotiv at the start of the season and also came close to success in the match against CSKA.
— There are no special expectations for the match, but Parma is a really serious opponent. I think a large audience of fans of this team will come to our sports palace. The game therefore promises to be quite difficult. Of course we want to win. But let’s look at the health of our players. I hope everyone will be fully prepared.
– Are there any injuries?
— Nikola Ivanovich suffered a slight leg injury during the last match. We are now trying to restore it. I think he will be in good shape on match day. But we don’t yet know how ready he will be.
— “Runa” had a very good debut. Maybe you can compete for the top three?
– Of course, we really want it, we will do everything for it, but whether we can or not is very difficult to say. We are ambitious and will make efforts to achieve this faster than expected. Let’s start with the playoffs, and then we’ll see, ”Yukhnevich told the correspondent.
