vice-president CSKA Natalia Furaeva told that the club sees the upcoming United League Super Cup as the final stage of pre-season preparation, but the outcome of this tournament is also important.
The VTB United League Super Cup will be held in Moscow from September 11 to 14. CSKA’s opponents in the group stage of the tournament will be Lokomotiv-Kuban and Serbian Red Star. UNICS, Zenit and Turkish Besiktas will play in the other group.
— The team is still getting back into shape, only 18 days have passed since we met and Avramovic joined them ten days later. And ideally, pre-season training should last about 5-6 weeks. We are counting down from the first match of the official VTB United League season, which will take place on September 21. Therefore, we perceive the Super Cup more as the final stage of pre-season preparation. After all, before that, for more than ten seasons, our traditional Gomelsky Cup was held, which we always scheduled for the dates before the start of the season.
“As for whether winning is important… I think any athlete who answers ‘no’ is lying. This is the essence of sport. We will try,” Furaeva told .
The new season of the VTB United League starts on September 21 with the match CSKA – UNICS.
