“The situation is terrible, the season is very, very bad. This situation was a surprise to everyone. No one could have predicted such results, no one expected it. Now we are trying to correct the situation, but it is obvious that many moments have been lost, everything has already gone too far, ”said D. Golubkov in a rather enigmatic way.

“Why everything happened, I have my own perspective. However, it is a bit premature to discuss this issue. Now the task is for the team to remember that the most important thing for it is sports, victories, giving all its strength on the field. Only then can results be achieved.

In the Euroleague everything has gone too far, and in the VTB United League we will fight, we will be hungry to take advantage of what we have. Now we have a great responsibility on our shoulders for those who love us: for the sick, for those who support us, for all those who support us. And this is an enormous pressure ”, the journalist Semionas Galkevičius transmitted the words of the president of the club on Twitter.

D. Golubkov pointed out that at least for the moment there should be no more changes in the headquarters of the headquarters, but there are changes in the composition of the team: there will be no high Greg Monroe, who is in a “divorce process”.

“A lot of questions for both coaches and players. We have no ideals. The task now is to gather strength and dig from this pit.

We have replaced two-thirds of the coaching staff, for now we will remain in the current line-up. You can always push the ladies and, you know, we’ve done that often in previous seasons. Now we have to retest all the possibilities. Of course, people determine everything, this is already basketball. All players remain, but we are reviewing some of the contracts. In all honesty, Mr. Monroe’s contract, “the club manager did not hide.

We remind you that the Chimki team coached by R. Kurtinaitis suffered the eighth consecutive defeat in the Euroleague on Tuesday night – 88: 105 Piraeus Olympiakos landed at home. You can read the reflections expressed by R. Kurtinaitis after this match here.

Currently, the Lithuanian-led team in the Euroleague is firmly at the bottom of the tournament table with just two wins.

Chimki’s positions in the VTB league are also not happy for the club’s fans, the team with 4 wins and 5 failures ranks only in eighth place.

At the beginning of December, there was no lack of changes in the headquarters of the coaches in the club: three specialists from Lithuania who had worked here left Russia: Robertas Kuncaitis, long-term assistant to R. Kurtinaitis, Giedrius Kurtinaitis, son of a strategist and Evaldas Kandradavičius, Fitness Training Expert.

Another Lithuanian, Aurimas Jasilionis, who worked at Khimki, remained assistant to head coach Rimas Kurtinaitis. Russian Andrei Maltsev was officially appointed as another assistant.

Furthermore, Aleksandras Trifunovičius joined the club in the first half of December, and the 53-year-old Serbian specialist became another assistant to R. Kurtinaitis.

It should be noted that the first match in 2021 will be played by the team from the Moscow region not elsewhere, but in Kaunas. The first meeting of the second round of the regular season with “Žalgiris” on the wave awaits you here on January 8.
