The thirst for revenge for last year’s defeat in the final of the VTB United League will give energy to the Lokomotiv-Kuban players in the semi-final series with Kazan UNICS, the Krasnodar striker told . Anton Kvitkovskikh .
The first matches of the series between UNICS and Lokomotiv-Kuban will take place in Kazan on May 6-8. The series goes up to four wins.
— In what mood did Loko prepare for the semi-finals?
— We worked in a positive manner, and our mood was combative and serious. I think the team now has good humor and good chemistry – everyone supports each other, the newcomers have integrated very well into the team and are helping their partners on and off the pitch.
— What will be the main point of the next episode?
— In each individual match, in each individual episode of play, the outcome will be determined by the details and the right attitude. And no matter how the game goes, the main thing is the final score. If it is in your favor, these are always positive emotions. It is therefore important to start the series well and get in the right frame of mind for the next matches. I can say this with certainty: there will be a battle in the semi-final matches. Just like this season, it was the case in last year’s finale. No one will give in. Everyone must be as attentive as possible and approach each episode of play with maximum responsibility and maximum concentration.
— Will the experience from last year’s final against UNICS be useful in matches with this opponent now?
– 100%. We have a history of unfinished business and we need to give them credit. And everyone understands this, not only our team and management, but the entire VTB United League in general. But this should in no way put pressure on us, but rather give us extra motivation, energy and attitude,” Kvitkovskikh told .
