Furaeva: CSKA Need Defeats to Learn After Supercup Bronze
CSKA vice-president Natalia Furaeva said defeats help teams learn and grow after the club beat UNICS 79:59 for bronze at the VTB United League Supercup.
CSKA Moscow beat UNICS 79:59 in the third-place game at the VTB United League Supercup and took the bronze medals.
Club vice-president Natalia Furaeva said the result pleased her, but not without reservations. "Today we are pleased. A win is always welcome. Of course, we always aim to win. If we said we were completely satisfied, that would not be true. But I am sure that defeats are also needed, because it is in human nature to learn lessons and grow precisely at such moments. This tournament is the most important final stage of preparation for the season, and the level of organisation and the status the league has given it make it even more attractive and interesting," Furaeva said.
Anadolu Efes won the Supercup, beating Lokomotiv-Kuban 88:82 in the final.
