Before CSKA Nikita Kurbanov explained to why he did not think about how the army team would look like now compared to its Euroleague rivals, and also noted the increased level of the VTB United League.
Russian teams have been suspended from participating in the Euroleague, Eurocup and Champions League due to the situation in Ukraine. The new United League season kicks off on September 21 with a match between CSKA and UNICS in Moscow.
— For more than two years, our teams have not had the opportunity to play in the Euroleague. How is it going without this tournament?
– We are used to it, it’s normal. It seems to me that people usually get used to some changes quite quickly. For more than two years now, we have been playing only in the VTB United League championship, which only gets stronger every season. Therefore, I don’t even think about how we would show ourselves in the Euroleague now.
“We cannot evaluate our possible game in the Euroleague after the recent victory against Red Star. This is not the same indicator. Not in terms of the team, but in terms of the fact that the Euroleague season is a season, not a match, it is a long distance. Therefore, making evaluations because we beat Red Star in the preseason tournament is probably stupid. We were very happy that they came, we played with a great team and gained additional experience,” Kurbanov told .
Watch the live broadcast of the United League match CSKA – UNICS on channel, as well as on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites on Saturday from 13:30 Moscow time.
