Quotes after the game BC Rilski Sportist - KB Sigal Prishtina

KB Sigal Prishtina recorded a very important away victory against BC Rilski Sportist in the first round of the Second Stage in EUROHOLD Balkan League. Here are some quotes after the end of the game:

Rosen Barchovski, head coach of BC Rilski Sportist: "The problem is the big difference, it′s not that we lost. Without Rakocevic it′s normal to lose against such a team. This difference came first with the shock after Rakocevic got injured and second - we started like against Kumanovo - with no focus and we let them start to play their game. And when they do and with them having such players - we have no decision. Our shooting wasn′t good as well and if it was it would′ve allowed us to at least stay in the game. With that roster that we had, we are weaker. But still we can′t let us lose in that way. We have no excuse not to play and not to fight."

Marjan Ilievski, head coach of KB Sigal Prishtina: "I′m very happy with that game. All month we had big problems and now they are going away. For first time we had a full roster with all the players that we had and we played a really good game. It makes me happy that we played very good in defense. The players knew that this game meant a lot for our future in this competition and they gave their maximum. This game showed we are a team that play good team defense and good team offense. I want to congratulate them and to say that I trust those players and I′m sure we′ll keep that rhythm. Sutjeska is a team that had a good game against Kozuv. For each game we are preparing with the same goal - to win. Each team has his strong and weak sides so we′ll try to use the weak ones and win."

Dardan Berisha, player of KB Sigal Prishtina: "We knew it was an important game and we played very hard. I′m happy we showed good things in offense and did well in defense. I think we deserved to win. Our chances are now higher. We have a game in Niksic and we′ll go there to take the win. We have good team. In the last three games we didn′t play that good but now we are in our rhythm and I think we′ll win. We know it′s going to be a very hard game for us there."
