KB Sigal Prishtina will host BC Levski tomorrow in the last game of the regular season in EUROHOLD Balkan League. The team from Kosovo and the Bulgarian side are tied for the second place and they will fight for a direct spot in the Final 4. The winner of this match will qualify directly while the looser is going to the playoffs. Here are the words of Marin Dokuzovski - the head coach of KB Sigal Prishtina, one day before the match:
"We feel normal, like before every game. Today we are expecting two new players who will be in the roster but I don′t know if they will play. We know Levski is a good team and got even stronger. If you see the names, Levski is the favourite but we are playing in front of our fans. We′ll try to win and qualify directly which will be a big success for us. It won′t be something fatal if we lose but this is the easier way to reach the Final 4.
For now there is no pressure and everything is normal. I also don′t see why there should be any pressure. For sure the gym will be packed. The players know Levski, know who they have to deal with and know this is one of the best teams in the league. For me they have perhaps the best team in EUROHOLD Balkan League. However we play at home and it′s normal to hope that we′ll take the victory.
I think that with Brandon Heath′s arrival Levski become even more experienced team. There are players like Chalmers, Jones, Wilkinson and Heath who have played a lot of serious games in Euroleague and NBA. They have the skills to play and are experienced which are the most important things. From other point of view Titi and Toni Dechev are leading the team for a few years now. They are well prepared tactically, they are together for a long time and they know what to do and how to play. For us it will be very difficult to stop Levski′s game.
Me and Titi first are very good friends and then comes everything else. It′s normal, we are coaches and that′s our job - he is leading Levski and I′m leading Sigal Prishtina. This will be for two hours and it′s normal that each will want his team to win. After the game we will be friends again. It will not be the first time we play against each other."News
