BaltInfo.ru | President of the BC Spartak: Spartak’s payers face the most demanding challenges

26.09.2010 In the forthcoming season the basketball club Spartak will be able to and must struggle for the highest places in the PBL tournament and the Eurocups. This opinion was voiced in the conversation with a BaltInfo correspondent by the president of the Saint Petersburg club Aleksandr Krasnenkov.

Krasnenkov was satisfied with the third place of his team in Kondrashin-Belov Cup, but noted that Zvi Sherf’s charges yet face a vast amount of work in order to attain serious success in the coming season.

“The games of Kondrashin-Belov Cup are viewed as the dress rehearsal for the forthcoming matches with the Turkish Galatasaray within the frameworks of the FIBA Cup of Europe”, Spartak’s president underlined and added that “the matches with this team will be the indicators of how we are prepared for the season”.

Talking of the transfer policies, Aleksandr Krasnenkov stated that “This year our roster is extended, therefore the coach is able to vary the lineup even in each position. There is good competition within the club and the boys struggle for a place in the lineup”.

“The task for the team is to advance as far as possible in the PBL. In the first place, to pass to the playoffs and there to do as much as they can”, the president of the red and whites told.
He also uttered an opinion on the created Professional Basketball League. “It is desirable PBL be an organization which would raise the Russian basketball to higher tops than now”.

We will remind you that in the match for the 3rd place of Kondrashin-Belov Cup BC Spartak won Israel’s Maccabi with the score 90:82.
