Head Coach CSKA Emile Raikovitch after defeating UNICS (76:71) in the United League Super Cup match, VTB told reporters that the army team’s success lies in good team chemistry. He also noted that returning the league title to CSKA will be a difficult task.
– CSKA was not considered the favorite of this tournament. What did you do to make the army team beat the UNICS at least beautifully?
– Yes, we are definitely not the favourites, because we are still missing a lot of players. Someone is sick, someone has just joined the team. CSKA played exactly today. The players showed great team chemistry.
– When will we see Alexey Shved in the game?
– Let’s see. I do not know. You have to ask the doctor. But I think in the next five or six days he will join.
– The team is being rebuilt for Russian players. How interesting are you?
“That’s why I came. For me, it is a challenge to work in such a situation. Andrey Vatutin and I built the team based on the fact that we will try to win and develop Russian players. Those two things don’t always go together, but we’ll try.
– How difficult will it be to regain the title of champion?
– It will be very difficult. You have seen how Zenit plays. These are favorites. They have a great team, where there are a lot of experienced players, a lot of names, but we are CSKA.
