Leader of Zenith Timofey Gerasimov told that the main advantages of the team’s head coach Javier Pascual are flexibility and the ability to find the key to each opponent.
On February 11, Pascual became the record holder for the number of matches as head coach of Zenit. The Spanish specialist played his 222nd match for Zenit in the match against Lokomotiv-Kuban, surpassing former Blue-White-Blue head coach Vasily Karasev (221) in this indicator. In third place is Joan Plaza, who led Zenit in 70 meetings.
—What’s so cool about Pascual?
— Many people call him a maestro; he has his own plan and approach for each opponent. Javier is a very flexible coach who can choose a system for any player, for any defense. This is his advantage and, of course, he knows how to build a team. We are getting better and better with every match, that’s a huge credit for the coach,” Gerasimov told .
This season, Zenit has won 18 victories in 27 matches in the VTB United League and is in fourth place in the Group A standings.
