“I like the VTB United League championship. The new season will be even stronger” – Elevich

Honored Coach of Russia Sergei Elevich believes that the next season of the VTB United League will be stronger and more interesting than the previous one.

The new United League season starts on September 21. CSKA became champions at the end of last season.

— As for the upcoming VTB United League Super Cup, which precedes the start of the season, I probably won’t name any favourites there. After all, there are all the clubs that performed well last season.

The teams are just starting to play well. CSKA won several times during the training camp in Turkey, Zenit looked good in the pre-season matches. The main expectations from the tournament are to see who the teams will sign during the off-season. I would like to see the tactics, the strategy of the teams, what the coaching staff has worked on.

Another intrigue for me is how Andreas Pistiolis will work from the beginning of the season. However, in the spring he was appointed to CSKA for the final stage of the season. And now we will see how he will establish the interaction in the new championship. That season he showed himself very positive, but now we have to see what the future performance of the team will look like under his leadership. Of course, I would like to see stability. This applies to all teams.

In general, I really like the VTB United League championship and I think that the upcoming season will be even stronger and more interesting,” Elevich told .

On the eve of the start of the new season, 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.
