I had to say repeatedly that each player on the roster contributed to our success in the VTB League. Ruslan is no exception. Over the past year, he has proven himself to be a perfect teammate, clearly accepting his role, supporting his teammates, taking advantage of his chances and working hard during the preparation period. Every coach needs such players, and we sincerely wish Ruslan to prove himself in his new team.
