— I don’t know, but VTB United League is the tournament where UNICS plays the best, — reacted Veremeenko to congratulations with the prize for «Most valuable player» in March. – At the same time I don’t agree with those, who say our foreign players slack their work in the Russian championship. UNICS has a goal to proceed to Final Four in all tournaments. Yes, we are in very difficult tournament situation in PBL. In Euroleague we are close to get sacked. But we will fight till the end. Everywhere.
