Coach “Lokomotiv-Rostov” Saso Philipovsky:

– First of all, I want to congratulate UNICS with the victory. Today, we lost a lot of points, because in the past six days, we played three games and are now not in the best form of physical and emotional. Kazan today showed a good quality game.

“Kazan today showed a good quality of the game”.

Is very impressive, very good players. In addition, UNICS in much better physical shape than my team. I wish UNICS luck, and my team needs a lot of work to recover.

UNICS coach Aco Petrovich:

– Recently, the team was a very difficult schedule: first, we played in St. Petersburg, was then a long flight from north to south, Turkey, in Ankara. We had a little time, but we had to prepare for this match. The team learned how to play defense, and offense against this opponent. We were able to fix the game and errors that began to appear here in a few games after winning the Cup of Russia, and in attack and defense. Today we played a basketball team with good energy, with desire, with a great attitude.

“Today we played a basketball team with good energy, with desire, with a great spirit”.

We knew that the “locomotive” has become stronger with the arrival of a new coach. I can not say that we were afraid. No, we're not afraid. But such teams should always be treated with caution. This is about the match with the “Zadar”. Croats have also changed the coach and they played differently. “Locomotive” played aggressively, but I think that showed today UNICS how hard the team can play defense. Protection is always very important, but today we conceded before the break only 29 points, and after – 22 points. This is a good result. Today, “Ural Great” worked for UNICS, beating “Khimki”. In Moscow Region team are now six defeats, so if we win, and Krasnoyarsk and Vladivostok, and “Dynamo”, then find ourselves in second place.

In Zhukanenko yet have much experience, so Demeshkin and played in that position. He performed well in these matches. Today, over 16 minutes scoring 9 points. Could, of course, and more, but failed. He is well blended into the atmosphere in the team and its energy.

– Can you provide someone the players? Maybe Sokolova, who scored 18 points?

– Sokolov is in very good shape. He played brilliantly in Turkey, where in 30 minutes scored 21 points. Today, too, played well, which is very important for our team. Now he gained experience, because in Europe playing against stronger opponents. It feels good. I believed in him and in the last year and this year. It always starts out as the main central.

– Yes. He has long injury.
