So, our coaching staff got interested in him. I hope he&#8217;ll keep going this way and add some energy and balance to our back court.<\/p>\n<p>Head coach of Zenit\u00a0<b>Xavi Pascual<\/b>:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0Today we are very happy for the incorporation of Denis Zakharov in our team. \u00a0We believe that it is a good step in his career and that at 27 he can further evolve his game, so we think we are incorporating a player from the present but also from the future. \u00a0It will cover two positions, both 1 and 2 and can give us creation speed and points as well as defensive aggressiveness in some aspects.<\/p>\n<p>Zenit guard\u00a0<b>Denis Zakharov<\/b>:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Moving to Zenit is a big step forward in my career. It&#8217;s a big level of competition both in VTB League and in Euroleague, and the club has big goals in both of them, so it&#8217;s good for me. I made the right choice because it&#8217;s flattering to every player to know that a Euroleague club wants to have him. I was amazed by Zenit fans when I saw them at the games, I suppose they root even louder during Euroleague games. I hope we&#8217;ll see this level of support throughout the whole season no matter what the result is, and I&#8217;ll try to do my best on the court.<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Denis Zakharov inks for two seasons<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":145,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[199,207],"tags":[13734,2037],"rumors":[407],"typology":[185],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-153838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-euroleague","category-vtb-league","tag-denis-zakharov","tag-zenit-st-petersburg-en","rumors-basket-rumors","typology-official"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153838","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/145"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=153838"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153838\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=153838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=153838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=153838"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=153838"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=153838"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=153838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
