"These are very important victories for us": Xavi Pascual and Denis Zakharov — after the game with Enisey

Zenit head coach Xavi Pascual commented on the results of the game with Enisey (69:97) at the post-match press conference.

— First of all, I want to wish all the best to Enisey for all the rest of the season. One game that for our side we had not Hunter but for another side I think it was very important that Balashov didn't play for Enisey. He is one player that improved a lot his game and very important for Enisey, we understand very well. And it was one game that from the beginning we took advantage and more or less we managed against one team, Enisey, that always was fighting to try to come back to the game. These are very important victories for us, and now we will prepare for the next week, when we have the most important meetings with UNICS and Uralmash.

The blue-whites guard Denis Zakharov also summarized the results of the away win over Krasnoyarsk.

— We were serious, because we know how hard it is to play in Krasnoyarsk after the flight, after acclimatization. Plus the [opposing] team shows a good level of play. Therefore, from the very beginning we approached the game seriously and achieved the desired result.
