Basketball player “Zenith” Sergei Karasev told that the MIR RPL 19th round encounter between “Zenith” And “Spartacus” will not be productive, as the teams will be cautious in the first game after the break.
On Saturday, March 2, Zenit St. Petersburg will play at home against Spartak Moscow in the 19th round of the WORLD RPL. The meeting will take place at the Gazprom Arena and start at 7:30 p.m. Moscow time.
— Around 55 thousand spectators are expected at the Zenit – Spartak match. Do you plan to be among them?
– Yes. And not just as fans: they were invited to the studio for pre-match analysis. But, of course, going to such games is in any case very pleasant and interesting. It’s a real derby. And it’s very cool that we’re expecting a full stadium.
But I’ll probably leave early for the game. Around noon, so as not to be late (smiles). Everyone must take into account that the closer the start of the match gets, the more difficult it will be to get to the Gazprom Arena.
— What do you think is the main plot of this meeting?
— The guys had a long break – the first game after training camp. I watched a few Zenit matches. But, of course, it will be more interesting to see St. Petersburg already in an official match, especially in the one against Spartak. Both teams are leading our championship, but do not forget that for “blue-white-blue” Spartak this is a powerful irritant, like a red rag for a bull. So from an emotional standpoint, it’s going to be a hand-to-hand match.
But the game is unlikely to be productive, because in the first meeting, after a long break, the teams may become cautious. I do not exclude that the game continues until the first mistake. But, of course, I wish all Zenit fans the same result as the day before in the match against CSKA (on Friday in the VTB United League, Zenit beat CSKA 81:71 – approximately “”), said Karasev “”
The Bleus-Blancs-Bleus are second in the Russian Championship standings with 36 points, the Rouges Blancs (30) are 5th.
The match will be broadcast live on the channel from 6:30 p.m. (Moscow time). You can also follow the progress of the match on the sites sportbox.ru and matchtv.ru.
