CSKA missed the start of the VTB United League match with Zenit and mishandled the ball, leading to the score at the end of the match, the army captain told . Semyon Antonov .
On Thursday, CSKA lost to Zenit in the home match of the VTB United League championship with a score of 91:92. In the encounter, the Army team lost by 21 points, but managed to bounce back and was close to victory.
— To be honest, after this defeat it is impossible to find precise words, because it will all seem banal. Well, they didn’t follow the coach’s instructions and so on. We started this match badly, without following the strategy we had prepared for this match. The opponent created a big reserve: the difference was 20 points. But we once again showed character, got back in the game and made up ground. But at the very end we mishandled the ball which was a cruel joke on us. After all, it was “+3” 30 seconds before the end. Overall, a bad decision in the last attack.
After such defeats, it is really difficult to find the words, because my soul is devastated. It seemed that at first your opponent knocked you out, but we were able to return to the game and, in principle, it was in our hands. But it’s a game, now you have to rest and recover mentally and physically. On Monday we have a meeting with Lokomotiv, there are only three matches left before the end of the regular season. We have to lead them well and prepare for the playoffs,” Antonov told .
CSKA is in second place in Group A, Zenit is third.
