Yesterday was held the regular press conference for today′s game in EUROHOLD Balkan League between KB SIgal Prishtna and SCM U Craiova.
It was also pointed out that due to the overwhelming interest for this match, the doors will open at 16:45 pm where fans are kindly ask to try to enter the gym earlier to avoid eventual long queues. All this interest comes after KB Sigal Prishtina last year was defeated by SCM U Craiova in Pristina and the team is seeking for a sportive revenge.
On the other hand, KB Sigal Prishtina coach, Mr. Sabit Hadzic said: "It is a very important match for both teams, especially for us because we play in front of our fans and that if we want to reach the highest positions in the Balkan League, we must not lose a home match. I think we did a good job last game against KK Mornar and the next victory is very important to continue the series of victories. Craiova has a very good team and has players experienced players, however, we have a lot of work to do as we played last night against KB Bashkimi and it was a very difficult game. Immediately, a day after the game with Bashkimi we were obliged to quickly prepare and play another game, which will undoubtedly be a difficult one, but I think that with the help of our great fans we have many chances to get a great result today."
Asked whether it would be difficult to qualify in the second group stage, coach Hadzic said: "We have to think game after game. With an eventual victory today, we will be very close to qualifying in the second phase. This season we have a more difficult job to repeat the successes of last year, but we are working hard to repeat them and achieve even more in the Balkan League. "
On the other hand Dardan Berisha said: "As the coach said, it will be a very difficult match since Craiova has a highly experienced team. However, we are aware of this and will do our best to win this match together with our fans." Asked whether KB Sigal Prishtina is stronger this edition or in the last one, Dardan Berisha replied: "I think that our potential in this year is a little bigger than last year. We have very good players and I think we only need to be more composed. Last year we had an advantage since we started the preparations earlier, but the time will come and our true potential will be seen. It is important that we have won all the games in Kosovo’s League, especially against KB Peja and KB Bashkimi the other night, as well as in the Balkan League, and have won the Supercup of Kosovo. I think we are in good way to repeat last year′s successes, which were very big. No doubt, our goal this year is to go to the Balkan League final, a quite difficult objective, but I think we have the potential and quality to achieve that goal. "
Asked how familiar is BC SIGAL Prishtina with SCM U Craiova, Dardan Berisha said: "We had a pretty tough schedule of fixtures. Until Sunday, we were prepared for the match against KB Bashkimi and now we had only a day to prepare for the next game with SCM U Craiova, which is quite difficult. But we know that Craiova has a more experienced team than last year and this edition will reach more than in the last one. However, one thing is sure that the game that they developed last year in Prishtina will not be repeated, as we enter this game with a greater awareness and we have our court advantage and best fans!”
