Jurica Zuza: "We did 25 assists — this is really good for the team"

September 8, 2025

Zenit assistant coach Jurica Zuza summed up the results of the semifinal game of the Kondrashin and Belov Cup against Dynamo Primorye (104:63).


— Jurica, tell us about the last match with Dynamo.


— Today we started the game really slowly and then we tried to find our rhythm with the substitutions, which we didn't like from the first half. We worried the players about the offensive rebound, they take like seven offensive rebounds, We didn't have any, we have our strategy, we have our plan how to get the rebounds, so they need to follow this. And also, I'm happy in the end of the game that we have as a team 25 assists. This is really good for the team.


— What games do Zenit expect in the upcoming season?


— Every game will be hard, every game. VTB is a very strong league and the opponents are strong. A lot of games, we play four rounds and all the teams are stronger than last year, I think. So it will be a very interesting season in front of us.


— What can you say about the pre-season training?


— We have several new players in the team, a new coaching staff. This is a new system, we are trying to innovate. The process is underway. Of course, mistakes are inevitable. We are happy with some things, but not very happy with others. We will work on it. In this period we just let's say playing games, we don't have time to practice but this is our job, it's our part of job that we need to find a way how to implement all these things inside. We are waiting on head coach so that we can implement all these things what we what we need. Of course we are happy that we give a chance to the young players, I think they have a perspective, and they can help us during the season.
