How did you feel about the final abolition of the seasons Euroleague and the Eurocup?
Andrey Vedishchev: As a fan are upset, but as the head of the club perfectly understand the reasons for the decision. It was obvious that in a pandemic the resumption of the competition is a big question, too many risks.
In the club “Lokomotiv-Kuban” know this firsthand…
Andrey Vedishchev: Yes, we were among the first seriously faced with the coronavirus. All who returned from the away match of the League of Estonian of Tallinn, after meeting with “Kalev” the next day they took the test. Immediately after a two-week quarantine. In General, the forced pause was perceived differently. Some players wanted to return to their families. Others were eager to stay in the team and continue to train. We correctly assessed the situation from the beginning. Took the only right decision, leaving the guys to see their families alive and healthy.
As the current situation is reflected in the cooperation with the basketball players?
Andrey Vedishchev: This difficult time can go smoothly only if all are aware of the responsibility and willing to compromise. It must be an oncoming two-way traffic. I know that our players understand that. Some have already renewed contracts for next season. Their names will be announced in the coming days.
