Heavy advanced MBA Andrey Lopatin told that he believes the Moscow team will reach the playoffs of the current season of the VTB United League.
MBA takes sixth place in Group B of the second stage of the regular season; the top two teams advance to the playoffs. MBA has nine wins in 28 matches in the United League season.
— Last season, MBA became a breakthrough team, but this year things are getting worse. Is this what we call second season syndrome?
—A lot of people talk about second season syndrome, but I don’t think we had any major failures. We don’t lose 30-40 points, usually in the end we can’t get our victories. For this reason, the position in the tournament is so difficult, but we do not despair, we continue to work. Work is always rewarded, we expect victories from ourselves. I think we should qualify for the playoffs,” Lopatin told .
Last season, MBA lost to Zenit St. Petersburg in the quarterfinals of the United League playoffs.
