Today CSKA guard Victor Alexander passed standard medical examination and join the team. Before the evening practice he answered several questions for our site:
Are you glad to return to CSKA?
- Yes, I’m really very glad.
And how did you like Unicaja?
- It was very nice organization there; the situation in the team was good. My contract with CSKA was expired, Unicaja invited me and I agreed. When I have an opportunity to return to the Army team I was very excited about it and I’m very glad that I’m in Moscow again.
How did you like Malaga?
- It is very nice place. You now, I went there to play, not on vacations, that’s why I didn’t see much, but I liked it. It is beautiful town near the ocean. But basketball situation is not good there, we often lose there.
Do you want to play against Unicaja in Euroleague?
- I think it would be ok; I haven’t any problems with this team. Yes, I wanted to return to CSKA, but I haven’t any personal problems with some peoples in Unicaja. We worked with them well when I was in Malaga. I really thank them for the chance to come back to CSKA.
What do you know about your new partners – Brown, Turkcan, Tarlac?
- They are really good players, I played against them in different teams. I think that the squad of the Army team became stronger with them. Brown and Turkcan were very good in Euroleague last season. Tarlac speaks Greece, like me, so, we can talk to each other not only on English.
How do you think who are the main favorites in Euroleague this season?
- CSKA has a very difficult group in Euroleague with the main favorites of this season. All teams are very dangerous. But the most strong are Maccabi Tel-Aviv, CSKA, Panathinaikos, all teams are good.
Where are you going to live?
- Now I live in the hotel, which situated near the hall. Appartaments I lived last season are busy now, Turkcan is living there. I will seek for another flat and now I will live in the hotel.
When is you family going to come to Moscow?
- I think that my wife and my four children will come to the Christmas holiday. Many peoples ask me about my family, why? They are not going to play basketball (smiling).
