President UNICS Yevgeny Bogachev told that he expected a tough match with “Lokomotiv-Kuban “in the first round of the VTB United League, noting that the opponent is on the rise and Loko has many good students.
The match will take place on Saturday in Kazan. Last season, Lokomotiv-Kuban lost to Kazan in the final VTB United League playoff series.
— This will be a difficult meeting. Lokomotiv has strengthened itself with good players. It’s also important that they have a very decent roster of Russian players. We must pay tribute to Andrei Vedishchev, Loko has its own basketball training academy. A lot of money is invested in it and, naturally, everything goes well. In this regard, one can envy. After all, finding great Russian basketball players today is not so easy. There are of course good older players in our league. But there are not many of them. We have Komolov, Kolesnikov, Zaitsev.
There is no euphoria before the match. Additionally, our sniper Eric Green is ill. It will be a difficult match. Let’s get ready. Lokomotiv looked good in the United League Super Cup. They are on the rise now, a solid team. Let’s see. The strongest and luckiest will win. A lot depends on luck. I’m sure it will be an interesting match,” Bogachev told correspondent.
