Former Zenit and Khimki defender Egor Vialtsev In a conversation with , he suggested that the new season of the VTB United League will be more interesting than the previous one, and also said that the Super Cup matches will be an excellent test for the tournament participants before the start of the championship.
The new season of the United League starts on September 21. CSKA became the champion at the end of last season. On the eve of the start of the new season of the VTB League, the 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.
— It is still difficult to talk about the Super Cup favorites: the composition of the tournament participants is very good — we will see. How did the teams look in the pre-season games? Again, it is also difficult to give an assessment. Some, however, had incomplete rosters. But I think that there will be good basketball in the Super Cup matches, and CSKA will still be the favorite. Zenit can also be called a favorite. St. Petersburg and UNICS also have strong lineups. And “Crvena Zvezda” is a good team, as well as “Lokomotiv”.
Every team can win here. For the tournament participants, these matches will be an excellent test before the start of the season. It is good that we managed to invite famous foreign clubs. Good sparring is expected, so it will be interesting to see what level we are at.
— The next regular United League championship will be played in four rounds. Is that interesting?
– Yes, it will be more interesting. Whenever there are more matches, it is more interesting for both fans and players. Recently, compared to previous years, the competition has intensified: any team can beat any other. This is very important. This is clear from the line-ups, from the names: four teams stand out. The rest will fight and bite, – Vyaltsev told .
