Alex Poythress: "It won't be easy"
October 20, 2024
Zenit's center Alex Poythress shared his thoughts before the match against Uralmash. The VTB United League round 8 road game will be played on October 21 in Yekaterinburg at DIVS Arena. The tipoff starts at 5:30 PM St. Petersburg time.
— Alex, last season Zenit struggled in Ekaterinburg. What do you expect now?
— It's a bounce back game for us. We lost to Lokomotiv and CSKA, we thought that we should have won. So we have to move forward and bounce back.
— What do players need to keep in their mind before that game?
— It's all about mentality. We got to put our best foot forward for the next game and prove to ourselves that we can get over a loss.
— We heared that almost all the tickets for that game were sold in advance…
— It won't be easy. But we had a good week of practice. Hopefully it translates to the game.
