Head Coach Russian national basketball team Zoran Lukic On , he said that the Friendship Cup would be a good opportunity to test the young players.
The Fonbet Friendship Cup will be held in Perm from August 21 to 25. Teams from Russia, Venezuela, Colombia, as well as Perm “Parma” will take part in the tournament. First, the teams will compete in a round-robin format. The final match and the match for the third place will take place on Sunday.
— For me, the most important thing is that five young players from the youth team were involved. They want to have a chance in this tournament. I had a very pleasant impression of their training process. Yes, there are times when you have to work hard and develop, but that’s a coach’s job. If that weren’t the case, we wouldn’t be needed. We use this friendly tournament to test these players. Some of them may be worried, but that’s normal.
Pashutin and I have been playing against each other for many years. I think Parma will use this tournament to play and prepare for the new season of the VTB United League. They have experienced and very high-quality foreign players. But on the other hand, it is a challenge for young players,” Lukic said on the air of the program “Everyone for the match!”
The Friendship Cup matches can be watched on . Watch the live broadcast of the Russia-Venezuela match on Wednesday, August 21, starting at 16:55 (Moscow time).
