“PARE PARMA” — a strong and balanced team, which UNICS the series of quarter-finals of the VTB United League should not be underestimated in any way, the captain of the Kazan team underlined during a conversation with a correspondent of Andrei Vorontsevich .
The first two games of the series will take place in Kazan on April 1 and 3.
– The last segment of the UNICS regular season did not play very well. What are the reasons?
– It is impossible to answer this question unambiguously. On the player side, I can say that everyone tried, fought, but it’s a sport, anything can happen here. Finished the regular season in second place. This is, I think, a good result. But now it will be the playoffs, and there is no room for error.
– Parma-PARI has become your opponent in the quarter-finals. What do you think of the game of the Perm team?
– A very solid team. If someone calls us favorites in this series, then I wish they were that way too. Nevertheless, Parma should not be underestimated, they are a very serious opponent. They have “big guys” in their roster, there are guys who defend, throw, beat. In a nutshell, the Permians have a fairly balanced makeup. Of course, the coaching staff is very experienced and serious. So it won’t be easy, but, in my opinion, the matches against the Perm team will be very interesting. He is a worthy opponent.
– What do you see as your chances and advantages over your opponent?
– Play under the ring, defense. Of course, everything will depend on the actions of the team. If we play aggressively, show the defense we have shown throughout the season and act as a team in attack, it seems to me that we can handle any opponent. The main thing is to be a well-coordinated team. We are not allowed to make mistakes and be relaxed.
– And UNICS can also win the championship this season?
The games will be displayed. Every club sets high goals, UNICS is no exception. So let’s wait and see. We have to go step by step, from match to match, and we will see there. Everything is going gradually. No one said there would be easy matches. I repeat, it will not be easy against Parma. God willing, if we get past them, we’ll see who our next rival will be. But for now, it’s Parma. We prepare for this opponent and analyze its strengths and weaknesses and try to improve our interaction.
