“We won and we are fine, but we had significantly easier job, bearing in mind that Orenburg arrived in Serpukhov with its second team. The World Championships will start at the end of this month, thus players are focused on that event. I am very happy that UMMC members showed that they will be in good shape for the upcoming championship”
