On “Zenith” there is a heavy responsibility after the defeats in the last matches of the VTB United League championship, in a home match with “Lokomotiv-Kuban” St. Petersburg will try to rehabilitate, they have the potential to fight for the championship, the VTB League champion with Zenit told . Egor Vialtsev .
Zenit and Lokomotiv-Kuban will meet in the second stage match of the regular VTB United League championship on February 11 in St. Petersburg. The game starts at 13:00 (Moscow time).
– It will be a very good match, where it is difficult to predict who will win. In my opinion, the opponents’ chances are 50 to 50. Lokomotiv is now in good shape. Zenit suffered defeats against UNICS, Paris NN and Yenisey in recent matches. So St. Petersburg really needs a victory, and now at home they will try to rehabilitate themselves in front of their fans and win.
Zenit’s advantage, of course, lies mainly in its home stands. The burden of responsibility, of course, rests on two consecutive defeats. I think Javi Pascual drew conclusions, talked with the team and the guys had a good training. I think it will be a great basketball game that will be interesting for the fans.
What problems can Zenit solve this season? Become a champion. This is its main task. The championship game hasn’t aired yet, but we’ll see everything in the playoffs. Can we say that they are saving their energy for the playoffs? No, no one is saving their strength. This is exactly how basketball is played at this point. I think the coaches and players understand that very well. But the team has great potential, this allows us to fight for the championship title and return it. Everything is in their hands. I hope they find their game,” Vyaltsev told the correspondent.
The Krasnodar team is in third place in the Group A standings, while the St. Petersburg team is fourth.
