Head coach of Kazan UNICS Velimir Perasović explained why the attacking defender Vyacheslav Zaitsev became the hero of the end of the VTB United League regular season match against Zenit St. Petersburg.
On Sunday, UNICS won an away victory against Zenit with a score of 93:83 (29:26, 22:18, 21:18, 21:21). Zaitsev spent less than 5 minutes on the floor and managed one rebound.
— Today was a difficult match. It’s always difficult to play in St. Petersburg. I am happy that we found the strength to achieve victory. I know Zenit was missing several players, but it’s a game. We had the advantage almost the whole match, except for a short period. Happy to have won.
— Today you personally played your 50th match against Javier Pascual.
— A little surprised by this figure. But the confrontation continues and I do not exclude that it will continue this season in the playoffs.
— The decisive rebound was made by Zaitsev, who came off the bench. The coach’s intuition?
– Zaitsev is as fast as a hare! — a correspondent quotes Perasovich.
UNICS after 7 matches occupies second place in the ranking.
