Basketball player “Zenith” Sergey Karasev told that with the arrival of the new head coach CSKA began to show a slightly different basketball, but in meetings with the Moscow team one should always expect a tense and difficult match.
The first match of the series will take place on May 5 at the Arena Arena and will start at 19:00 (Moscow time). The VTB United League semi-final series is played to four wins. Zenit will also play the second match at home on May 7. Since April 15, the military club has been led by Greek specialist Andreas Pistiolis, who replaced Emil Rajkovic in this position.
— What can you say about the matches with CSKA, whose head coach has recently changed?
– It’s a big derby. And, it seems to me, not only for Zenit and CSKA, but for all of Russian basketball in recent years. We therefore expect games of dice and dice, constantly on the verge of error.
With the arrival of the new head coach, CSKA began to play a little different basketball. Even if the idea remains largely the same. And Casper Ware is back. So it will be interesting,” Karasev told .
In the quarterfinals, Zenit beat Ekaterinburg Uralmash (3-2) and CSKA beat Krasnoyarsk Yenisei in three games.
