“We are pleased with the group, because we are a new team. In the forthcoming period, we have lots of new players who need to get accustomed to each other. In this process, we must avoid any possibility of a surprise elimination in the first round. One team in our group will advance from qualifiers, and Unics Kazan has a good chance of achieving that. In that case, our group will contain two Russian and one Lithuanian teams. These road matches are always hard. We have to be careful about that.”
