Defender “Zenith » Alexander Shcherbenev on the eve of the meeting with “Lokomotiv-Kuban “In the VTB United League, he told that the match with his former team was very interesting for him, noting that the successes of the railway workers at the start of the season were not surprising.
Zenit will host Lokomotiv-Kuban in the VTB United League match on Sunday. The game starts at 16:00 (Moscow time). At the start of the season, both teams had won four times.
— In this match you will play for the first time against Lokomotiv. How important is it to play against your old team?
— Absolutely any game is important. But the experience of playing a match with Lokomotiv will be really interesting. Because for me, it’s my home club, I grew up there. So it will be a little exciting and interesting. I think it will be a very good match.
— Has Loko’s confident start to the new United League season surprised you?
– More likely no than yes. They have a great team: good players and a good technical staff. And in general, Lokomotiv shows a decent game every season and is on top. What does the next meeting look like? The matches between Zenit and Loko are always very tough, there is always a lot of contact. I’m sure it will be an interesting matchup, because both teams haven’t lost yet and are playing very good basketball at the start of the season, and everyone wants to continue their winning streak. It will therefore be a match with maximum intensity.
Our advantages compared to Loko? One of them should probably be a good defense. In addition, we must try to impose our offensive game. We have great players and an excellent coach. We improve from match to match, we understand the coach’s philosophy and his demands in the game. We will try to win thanks to that. And the most important thing, I think, will be to stop the leaders of Lokomotiv and impose their game on them,” Shcherbenev told .
