On Friday, UNICS defeated Zenit in the group stage match of the VTB United League Super Cup with a score of 78:72 and reached the tournament final, where they will face CSKA.

— What is the key to success today?

We managed to prepare the opponent. As you know, we had a week after the tournament in St. Petersburg, where we unfortunately lost to Zenit in the final, and today I consider this victory significant for us, since we were able to rehabilitate ourselves for the disappointing defeat. We showed that the bugs have been fixed. And now, with new strength and ambition, we will fight for victory in tomorrow’s match against CSKA.

— What do you expect from the meeting with the army?

As a Muscovite, it is always a pleasure for me to play at home with the support of my family and friends. I think we have enough time to prepare and show a beautiful, quality and effective match tomorrow, with renewed vigor.

— How do you feel as a captain? Does it add enthusiasm and responsibility?
