I think, with the advent of Pooh Jetter, the team will become different. This is a professional and a good person. Geroun and Kobets are newcomers to the team. They are the future of the national team of Ukraine. I hope they will help us in this selection. The task for the team is only victories in these selection matches.

Vyacheslav Kravtsov, the captain of the national team of Ukraine:

– Training camps take place in the middle of the season, so all the guys are in good shape. Another thing is that there is not enough time to prepare, so we do our best to get ready for the upcoming matches. The atmosphere in the team is great – Pooh appeared (Jetter – ed.), he easily joined the team. All the guys are united, in good humor. Set to showing the best results.

Eugene (Pooh) Jetter, player of the national team of Ukraine:

– Very glad to return to the ranks of the national team of Ukraine and in particular to Kiev. This city became a home for me in the 2007/2008 season (then Jeter played for BC Kyiv – Ed.). Glad to see the guys again – three years seem to have faded like a day. It seems like we`ve never part, we talked online, I followed their performances. I feel a great working atmosphere in the national team of Ukraine. I hope I will benefit the team both in Latvia and in Kiev. We expect only victories.
