And then the VTB United League Super Cup will take place in Moscow: in addition to our leading teams, Serbian Crvena Zvezda and Turkish Besiktas will play there. In general, we followed this path: cheap and cheerful, “Bogachev told .
The new United League season starts on September 21 with the CSKA – UNICS match.
