The head coach of the VTB United League team “Lokomotiv-Kuban,” **[Tomislav Tomovich](https://example.com)**, shared his thoughts on the upcoming match against Zenit.

“Zenit is a formidable team, featuring experienced Russian players and skilled foreign talents like Trent Frazier, Levi Randolph, and Luka Shamanic. They have a strong coaching staff and a distinctive style of play that we need to respond to appropriately. Above all, our energy must be at its peak. We must consistently deliver maximum effort, determination, and hustle—that’s our primary focus at this point. And, of course, rebounds are another area we’re continuously working on day by day.

I know our fans can provide incredible support, and I can’t wait to step onto the court as the head coach and perform in front of them. This is a crucial game, and I truly hope to see packed stands. Let’s create a fantastic atmosphere to help us deliver an outstanding match!” — quoted Tomovich in a statement from the team’s press service.
