The Runa center spoke about the reasons for our team’s victory in the game against Uralmash (85:78).

«I’m incredibly excited that we won. We beat Uralmash and did it on the road. I think it happened because I wore two right socks today. Most likely, we won because of that fact (smiles). If there were two left socks, we would lose. This is the first season that my socks are signed. My wife washed it so that I had two right socks. I don’t know how it happened, but it probably says something (smiles).

We tried to fight at every moment of the game. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. In the end we won, the score is on the scoreboard. As the coach said, we don't have time to celebrate this victory. Tomorrow evening we have practice, and now we need to spend several hours on the plane.

If we compare the VTB United League with the Superleague, I would note a higher speed of decision-making both in attack and defense. In terms of contact, everything is probably the same as in the Superleague», — Popov said.
