President UNICS Yevgeny Bogachev in an interview with , he said that CSKA after the team took third place in the VTB United League playoffs, will reconsider their mistakes and come back stronger.
CSKA won bronze in the VTB United League at the end of the season, beating Zenit 4-1 in the series for third place. UNICS became the champion for the first time in its history. The last playoff series against Lokomotiv-Kuban ended with a 4-1 win for Kazan.
– What will you answer to those who say that your success is not only the victory of UNICS, but also the defeat of CSKA?
– I do not agree. I have a lot of respect for the army team, but basketball is basketball. Various circumstances. CSKA have been first all season, we were second. Then Shved’s injury, other factors… The army team is a powerful team, I appreciate the work of Andrey Vatutin. However, in sports, luck and the errors of the coach in the construction of the game decide a lot.
Moreover, it is impossible not to note the excellent work done by Lokomotiv-Kuban. Krasnodar played very well. They already had the money in the VTB United League, but ten years ago. The current second place is a big positive leap. We weren’t over the top, but we had a head start. A minute in basketball is a lot, maybe we were better in the deciding seconds.
And CSKA is a big club worthy of the name. Next season they will reconsider their mistakes and we will be proud of them again,” Bogatchev said in an interview with .
