Ilona Korstin: ‘Matches involving Serbian teams are of great interest in the Super Cup’

United League CEO Ilona Korstin on the eve of the VTB League Super Cup, in a conversation with , she expressed the opinion that the tournament will be interesting and unpredictable, and also said that in the process of preparing for the Super Cup, the organizers encountered logistical difficulties regarding the arrival of the Serbian teams in Moscow, but managed to resolve the problem.

The VTB United League Super Cup will be held in Moscow from September 22-25. The tournament will be watched by the capital CSKA petersburg “Zenith” Krasnodar Lokomotiv Kuban Kazan UNICS as well as Serbian teams “Partizan” and Mega.

– We expect interesting matches at the next Super Bowl. Everyone misses basketball so much. The best teams participate in the Super Cup: the four best teams in the league last season and two top Serbian clubs. I think it will be a very good competitive tournament. And given that our clubs now have a lack of games with foreign teams, I’m sure that these games will attract more interest among the fans.

— Is it possible to designate the favorite of the tournament?

– It is difficult to name a favorite now, because our Russian teams have undergone changes during the off-season: the compositions have changed, the legionnaires have changed. Of course, Partizan is a Euroleague club, and such an eminent specialist as Zeljko Obradovic works with them. I think Partizan will look strong enough. Well, CSKA and Zenit were two finalists in the VTB United League last season. Therefore, I think they will fight for the Super Bowl title as well.

— Was it easy to agree with the Serbian clubs on their participation in the Super Cup?

“They were immediately interested in this tournament. But since we had questions about how to organize their arrival logistically, the negotiations took time. In general, the questions focused exclusively on logistics. Well, now everything is good for us: they are coming, and we are really waiting for them, waiting for them to take the field and play with our teams.
