UNICS forward Andrei Lopatin told that the strong competition in the Kazan club motivates him to improve his game even more, and also declared a good team “chemistry” within the squad.
UNICS On Friday, in the group stage match of the United League Super Cup, VTB beat Zenit (78:72). On Saturday, CSKA and UNICS will meet in the final of the tournament; Zenit and Red Star of Serbia will play in the match for third place.
— What was the main component of success in the game with Zenit? We won because we collectively played well in defense and attack, moved the ball and followed all the coach’s instructions.
— How are you adapting to the new team?
— For me it is a new experience, a new challenge. I think that every player who becomes a superstar, like Khryapa and Kirilenko, has gone through difficulties. And I hope that these difficulties will make me such a player.
— Are there any difficulties?
— There are always difficulties. And when you come to a team that is fighting for the first place and you see strong competition, difficulties always arise, but they only motivate you to work even harder and become better.
— Do you have the feeling that UNICS will fight for the championship this time too?
“Of course, every day the team chemistry is growing and we are improving,” Lopatin told .
