Zenit St Petersburg coach Xavi Pascualis complained about the team’s tight schedule before the Kaunas “Žalgiris” game.
Zenit played their last game in the Euroleague on Monday this week.
“We understand that now we have a difficult schedule. Our opponents had six, seven days to prepare for this match. We didn’t have much time to prepare.
We will have to work hard to play with the same intensity as Žalgiris. I mean our speed in defense and attack. Without a doubt, “Žalgiris” will play fast basketball.
We may find that it would destroy the rivals’ game plan, but it is becoming more difficult for us as we feel more and more tired each day at this stressful time. But we will have to continue our game.
He is a very strong contender, but we are ready and looking forward to extending a good series.
Žalgiris started the season with four wins and now has a four-loss series. Of course, they played against strong teams. They will be motivated. If we don’t match that, we won’t have a chance to win, “said the Spaniard.
KCRivers spoke about the changes in the Žalgiris team.
“The coaching staff changed, I lost some basketball players, but it is almost the same team I played for. Same style – cool game, hard walls, and cool gear. We will have to fight the 40 minutes.
It will feel a little different when there are no fans in the arena, but they will definitely play hard. Also, everyone is motivated after the losses. They will play with a lot of energy and we will have to equalize, ”he said.
Žalgiris and Zenit will meet on Thursday.
