Defender”Lokomotiv-Kuban » Vladislav Iemchenko told the reasons for Uralmash’s defeat in the pre-season training camp and also said that the Krasnodar team will do everything possible to win the United League Super Cup.
The VTB United League Super Cup will be held in Moscow from September 11 to 14. The tournament will bring together CSKA, UNICS, Zenit, Lokomotiv-Kuban, Serbian Red Star and Turkish Besiktas.
The Krasnodar club lost to Zenit in the VTB League bronze medal series last season.
— Do you like training under the guidance of Lokomotiv president and new head coach Andrei Vedishchev?
– We are now in pre-season training, and this means a lot of physical activity, a lot of work in the gym, and of course, intense training directly in the basketball hall. The workload is good: everything is taking place within the framework of pre-season training. We are working on the team’s defense and attack, establishing communication between players, everything is going according to plan.
— In the test match at the pre-season training camp in Turkey, Loko lost to Uralmash. Andrei Vladimirovich was not satisfied with the team’s actions on the field. What are the reasons for the failure?
— Yes, we didn’t have the best match against Uralmash. At the beginning, there was a lack of energy and dedication. Not everything was good in defense, so we didn’t have much respite in attack, we kept the ball for many moments. We haven’t played to the end yet. In principle, this influenced the result of this match.
— The VTB United League Super Cup is ahead. Will Loko be able to win it?
— We are preparing for the tournament, we will return home soon. The first two opponents are known – the United League champion CSKA and Crvena Zvezda, which plays in the Euroleague, and is also a famous club. It is great that we have the opportunity to play matches like this. It depends only on us whether we are able to win the Super Cup or not, but, naturally, we really want to win this tournament, we will do everything to make it happen, “Yemchenko told .
The new United League season begins on September 21.
