basketball player “Zenith” Sergei Karasev told that a win in the home preparatory tournament would help the team go into the Russian Super Cup in good shape.
Zenit beat Kazan in St. Petersburg on Friday UNICS in the final of the Kondrashin and Belov Cup – 63:50.
— First of all, I want to thank the fans who supported us at the Kondrashin and Belov Cup. Yes, the tournament is not official, but everyone in St. Petersburg missed basketball this summer. So it was very nice to win at home.
By the way, the Super Cup matches are coming up very soon. In this sense, we treated the Kondrashin and Belov Cup as an official competition. In fact, it was the first serious test before the Super Bowl and the season as a whole. There is still a lot of work to be done, but there are also a lot of positive emotions.
— What can you say about the victory in the final against UNICS?
– It’s not an easy game. Besides, there were principled rivals. It was all the more pleasant to win.
— How do you find the new arrivals?
— There are a lot of new guys, but there is still some lack of teamwork. But this is a completely normal working situation for the off-season. The most important thing is that the chemistry and atmosphere within the team are very pleasant. Everything is positive. What is on site, what is outside. It is very important, ”Karasev told .
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.
