— What do you think of the semi-final with Fenerbahce? Is it really possible to beat this opponent?
– You can beat everyone. But it’s a Euroleague team, so it will be very difficult. Let’s get ready. Luckily we have a day off tomorrow. There will be more time to recover and take down the opponent. But it’s great that we have the opportunity to play with such an opponent in the semifinals and test ourselves in very serious combat conditions, ”Shcherbenev told .
