After several consecutive defeats MBA is not going through the best period psychologically, the atmosphere of a tight match in defense should help the team regain confidence in attack during the VTB United League home match againstLokomotiv-Kuban “, General Director of the Moscow club Igor Kocharyan told .
The team meeting will take place on Saturday in Moscow and will start at 7:30 p.m. (Moscow time).
– A match with Lokomotiv? The VTB United League championship this season is so unpredictable and even that in every match you can expect that any team can be beaten. At this stage of the season, we are not experiencing the best period, especially psychologically. Because we lost several matches. But all this is also a stage of evolution, a stage of a difficult season. It’s a moment that probably every team experiences. And now it is very important to maintain the mindset of tight defense and, through defense, regain psychological confidence in the offense.
We now rely more on our psychological state, on our ability to resist a blow. And it’s important to withstand the onslaught and pressure at different times of your career and season. Each match is now quite close, so it is possible to progress through such matches. Let’s see how we can deal with this pressure.
— MBA is being played at home, is that probably a plus in the next match?
“Now, first of all, we have to work on our condition and our mistakes. It doesn’t matter whether we play at home or away. For our team, it’s a double situation: there is even more pressure on the guys at home. In principle, playing at home has advantages and disadvantages. We need to carry out the game plan, come out of a somewhat negative state after the defeat against Avtodor and show good basketball,” Kocharyan told .
MBA, with 5 wins and 10 losses, occupies 12th place in the United League standings. Lokomotiv, after winning 9 matches and suffering 6 defeats, occupies 4th place.
