Opposite of Dinamo Moscow Roman Yakovlev is speaking about the Champions League Final Four tournament. "We should get in the final and try to return defeat from the last year´s final to Trentino".
What do you think about your chances in Champions League Final Four?
I consider Trentino favorite of the Final Four. They certainly won´t play in this hall, but in Italy. And this hall can hold about nine thousand (Italian) spectators. Therefore, in any case the final for us or for Kazan won´t be easy. Now we have a busy schedule. But it seems to me that all of our guys are in good physical shape and we have enough forces for the Final Four. The fact that we are in Final Four for the second consecutive year, fighting for the title with the strongest clubs in Europe (last season, Dinamo lost in the final game with Trentino), itself is already achievement.
When it was harder to break into the Final Four - a year ago or now?
I think last season was easier. When we played this year semifinal against Cuneo we were lucky.
In your opinion, which of the two Italian superclub is stronger - Cuneo or Trentino?
Interestingly, the Trentino is now leading the Italian championship, but in duels with Cuneo usually lose. We should get in final and try to return the Italian team payback for last year's defeat. Let's see...Now I know only that Trentino will be in the final.
