CSKA captain Antonov: “The victory over Zenit was largely due to the fans. Despite the bad start, they continued to push us forward.”
CSKA captain Semyon Antonov noted the great merit of the army fans in the strong-willed victory of the “red-blues” over “Zenith” in the VTB United League match.
On Sunday, CSKA won at home over Zenit St. Petersburg with a score of 93:88.
— Each match between CSKA and Zenit is a separate story, a separate confrontation between two big clubs. The number of spectators who came to support us proves that the interest in such matches is very high. I think that today’s victory is largely due to them. Despite the bad start, they continued to push us forward. In the second half we made adjustments to the game, and the fans continued to support us. At the end of the meeting, they themselves realized that they had helped us turn the tide of this match, and were already enjoying the game,” Antonov told Match TV.
