Russian National team head coach Sergey Babkov announced that Vladimir Dyachok is no longer with the team. The reason is competition on the small forward position. ‘He needs to start practicing with CSKA as soon as possible in order to get self-reliance’ – said the mentor.

The captain of the team and one of the competitors at the position Andrei Kirilenko agreed to give our web site comments on the situation.
- Volodya is a great player. Although he is a bit older than me I can feel he has a great potential. The potential could not come out in the national team. It is very hard to progress while competing with Victor Khryapa, Sergey Monya and me. He did not have enough time on the court. But I think that after a single year under Messina guidance he would be able to replace one of us or at least to compete at the same level. Dyachok has potential to play in the starting five of the National team.
Today Vladimir Dyachok had a practice with CSKA. After it we asked his opinion about the situation. ‘I guess it is better for me now to practice in CSKA in order to get use to the new club, - says the forward. – I did not make it to the line up of the national team, but I guess it is better to find it out now than later. Now I have a chance to be present at almost all the stages of the preparations in the club.
Did you enjoy practice at CSKA?
- There is much new information for me. And it is really interesting to practice. But to tell you the truth right now after the practices I feel rather tired. But I guess it would not last for a long time.
