Vatoutine: “CSKA’s latest results cannot satisfy anyone. Either the team has given up or they are not in good shape, unlike their opponents.

President of CSKA Andrei Vatutin told that he was unhappy with the latest results of the Moscow club, who, in his opinion, had largely failed in most areas.

On Sunday CSKA lost to Perm “Parma” with a score of 80:84 in an away match of the regular season of the VTB United League. The Army team suffered a second consecutive defeat, but remains in first place in the rankings. Nikita Kurbanov played this match for the first time after being suspended for cocaine.

— Regarding the return of Kurbanov, everything has been said on this topic earlier by the club and the player himself, so there is simply nothing new to add. We are happy that he is back in the squad, but we still need time to create the necessary conditions for basketball. However, three months of break are felt.

CSKA’s latest results cannot satisfy anyone, in fact, we lost three matches in a row, because in the home match against Paris Nizhny Novgorod we finally got really lucky. I once said that our first place in the ranking seemed to me personally a surprise, but we nevertheless retained our leadership. In general, this month we either lost significantly in most components, or did not get into shape against new opponents. This applies to both the team as a whole and individual players. You can’t win by performing at the right level for a quarter.

It is necessary to try to understand the reasons for what happened and do proper and correct work during the next three weeks of break. Besides, January and February are traditionally difficult months for us, regardless of the coaches. There are no illusions in the club about continued luck, no one will help us except ourselves,” Vatoutine told .
