Game leader “Lokomotiv-Kuban” Alexander Shcherbenev admitted this victory over CSKA in the VTB United League regular season match, it was very difficult for his team.
The meeting took place on Sunday in Moscow and ended with a score of 91:88 in favor of the Krasnodar club. Lokomotiv-Kuban interrupted CSKA’s unbeaten streak this season, which totaled nine matches. Last season, Lokomotiv defeated CSKA in the playoff semifinals with a score of 4-3.
— What was the key to your success in the match against CSKA? A confident start?
— Yes, we started well, but in the third quarter, we allowed the opponent to come back into the match. In fact, when the army team plays at home and the stands support them, it is very difficult. But we found the strength to stay in the match and ultimately deserved the victory.
— How will you celebrate your success?
– No. Of course, it’s nice. Moreover, this is CSKA’s first defeat of the season, we interrupted their winning streak. But there is no time to celebrate: there are matches coming up, the season is busy. It is too early to rejoice, especially since we are still playing with more or less success. I hope we keep this pace, not only with CSKA and Zenit, but also with other teams.
— But victories over CSKA are already becoming commonplace for Lokomotiv-Kuban.
— It may seem that way from the outside. But in fact, every victory is simply chewed, it is very difficult. It’s not easy with teams like CSKA. We are dying on the field, and this is what happened today,” Shcherbenev told .
