VTB United League CEO Ilona Korstin in an interview with , she said that during the last regular season and tournament playoffs, Kazan UNICS showed the best playing qualities and the best fighting character and deservedly became a champion.
UNICS became the United League champion for the first time. In the final series, the Kazan club beat Krasnodar Lokomotiv-Kuban with the score 4-1
— Which event of the season do you consider the most brilliant?
— For me, of course, it’s the victory of UNICS. At the end of the regular season, CSKA seemed to be the big favourites, and Zenit had a strong team led by Javier Pascual, and it was hard to imagine we would see the UNICS – Lokomotiv-Kuban final. But the teams from Kazan and Krasnodar still reached the decisive series.
The season turned out to be very bright: seven matches in the semi-finals, a new pair of finalists in the decisive series and the most significant event – the UNICS championship.
I think it’s absolutely deserved. Kazan’s team showed their best qualities, demonstrated their fighting spirit and revealed their 100% potential. This was largely due to the dedication of the players, the professional work of the coaching staff and management, their site advantage and the good atmosphere of the games in Kazan. UNICS took the opportunity to win gold medals for the first time, and I congratulate them,” Korstin told .
