Titi Papazov: We have a tough game ahead of us

Levski′s head coach Titi Papazov spoke to the media on Sofia Airport right before the team′s flight to Tel Aviv, where they will face the local side Hapoel Tel Aviv, in a game, which the coach described as a tough one, and as a battle for the first spot in Group B. Here is what Papazov said for gong.bg.   "I hope that we will come out as the winners in the end. Israel is a country where basketball is the number one sport, and we have a tough game ahead of us, that′s for sure."   Asked about if he thinks that Hapoel Tel Aviv, Galil Gilboa and the defending champion Feni Industries are amongst the top contenders for the BIBL crown, Papazov answered: "Other than these teams, we also shouldn′t underestimate Rilski Sportist, as they are playing good in the Balkan League, and also Mornar Bar. My personal opinion is that Galil Gilboa is the main contender, as the second strongest team in Israel for the past two years."   "The game tomorrow is a direct clash for the first spot in our group. If we win, we can be almost sure that we will finish on the top spot. These are the teams that will battle for winning a spot in the Final Four and then for winning the trophy."
