Konstantin Papazov, head coach of BC Levski: I feel very good, it′s my 11th title

The head coach of Levski - Konstantin Papazov was really happy after his team won EUROHOLD Balkan League. Here is what he said after the win over Galil Gilboa in the final:   "We are the only team that is a part of EUROHOLD Balkan League since its start when Mr. and Mrs. Shtriks alongside Mr. Hristov started to develop this idea. Nobody believed in this project but you all can see that every year it′s getting better and with every season the teams and the matches are getting better and better. I want to say it simple - the first year we weren′t a team that deserved to play in the league. EUROHOLD Balkan League helped us, gave us a chance and this is the time when I promise the people that helped us, that we′ll continue to work together. Because this is not a competition for money but for people with heart who love basketball.    On April 10th the management of the league made the right decision. We also wanted to host the Final Four because there was a big celebration in Sofia for the people who made the history of Levski. I wanted it to be in Sofia but I stood behind Mr. Shtriks when the decision was taken. I told him it was the right one. This sixth Final Four is the best one.    I want to say one big thank you to the fans who supported us. Kosovo made a big step forward thanks to the chance it received. The decision was risky but in there′s no politics in sports.    In this game we stopped the transition of Galil and that gave us advantage. I also want to say thank you to Mr. Pini Gershon who is a teacher to me but also to my colleague in this final - Sharon Drucker. In this game probably I was the better student but only know, I don′t want to make any comparisons. The players make one coach good.    I want to thank our sponsor, our president who left us and now new one is coming. I want to thank everyone, my family and one big big thank you to my assistant Toni Dechev who is great. I have very big confidence in my two assistant coaches and I thank them. I feel very good, this is my 11th title."
