Captain of a basketball club UNICS Andrei Vorontsevich on the air “” spoke about the difficulties faced by young Russian players.
In the 2022/23 VTB United League season, UNICS became the champions for the first time in their history. Final Series of Playoffs vs. Lokomotiv Kuban ended in a 4-1 victory for Kazan.
— Who now represents the new generation?
– I want to see not only talent, but also stability. When I was young, they demanded reliability in defense. So far I don’t see them. Georgy Zhbanov is not young, he is 25 years old. Nenad Dimitrievich is old, she is a grandmother. I like Zhbanov’s defence, but he needs a new level from a top club, experience on the pitch. As well as other young people. They don’t have European championships, world championships and Olympic Games.
– Andrey Martyuk, Alexander Shcherbenev, Zakhar Vedischev from Lokomotiv what to do?
– There is no better “farm” for basketball for them. It’s hard to say if they would have played at CSKA the previous time. And here they play. I want them to have the same background, the same stock and the same experience. Throwing, scoring – we all know how. Shcherbenev, get out, stop the Shved, don’t let him score 20 points. Early! I really like Shcherbenev. He tries, the judges sometimes give faults in attack. He will still grow. But I want them not to be a hole in the defense, – Vorontsevich said on .
