If beginner UNICS Mark Tikhonenko will work as hard on himself in training as his famous father, Olympic champion Valery Tikhonenko, over time he can achieve great success at the Kazan club, the UNICS president told . Yevgeny Bogachev .
Earlier, UNICS announced the signing of a one-year contract with 25-year-old striker Mark Tikhonenko (203cm, 96kg). Mark Tikhonenko is the son of Olympic champion Valery Tikhonenko. The striker spent last season at the Moscow club MBA, in which he became the Russian Cup bronze medalist.
– Mark Tikhonenko is still, one might say, quite young. We’re taking him somewhere to strengthen the team, somewhere in the future, a replacement. Russian players are usually very needed in the team. It all depends on Mark himself, how he is going to work. If he works the same as his father, the famous basketball player Valery Tikhonenko, he has to achieve a lot and become a main team player. Valéry’s efficiency is a very good example of this. Also, under the guidance of our coach Velimir Perasovich, there are good prospects for skill development,” Bogachev told .
