Quotes after the game KK Kozuv - KB Sigal Prishtina

KB Sigal Prishtina is in the final of EUROHOLD Balkan League despite losing by 6 points its visit to KK Kozuv. The team from Kosovo had won the first match by 24 points so it was enough for them. Here are some quotes after the end of the match:

Milos Pejic, head coach of KK Kozuv: "First I congratulate Prishtina for reaching the final. This is sport. This season we beat them three times and played bad only one game and they went to the final. The difference was very big. We tried to reach them but they played very well and didn′t allow us to pull away in the first half. A semifinal in BIBL is success. Sigal played phenomenal in Prishtina and this is why they are in the final. I can say the season so far is good. We were in the semifinal in BIBL, we reached the Cup final in Macedonia, and now we′ll try to reach the Semifinal in the league as well. We′ll see what happens."

Filip Sepa, player of KK Kozuv: "We played against a very good team. In the first game we were the worst team, we made a lot of stupid mistakes and they were better in each segment. In this second match we tried to play good and to win. We didn′t think a lot about the difference, as it was very big, we wanted to win and then see what happens. Sigal is a good team and I wish them the best. We achieved club′s biggest success in EUROHOLD Balkan League with reaching the final so we are happy with the season. Of course there is the disappointment that we reached the semifinal and probably we entered as favourites but this is sports. Generally it′s not bad, it could have been better but we are happy."

Marjan Ilievski, head coach of KB Sigal Prishtina: "I want to say that before the game we were ready that it was going to be a big pressure. It was bigger for the home team which was normal and we knew that the gym would be full and it would support the home side. There was not a lot of basketball to be seen from both sides because the hosts wanted to try to change the score but I′m very happy that my players showed that they are mentally ready to be able to resist such a pressure and such an aggressive defense with with very hard to receive the ball, let alone to make good offense. One more time I would like to thank the players who once again showed they are a big family and each time the family can resist the biggest hits together.
We played two games with Rilski. They are an excellent team with good individuals. They are very athletic team and they run well. We won them twice but it doesn′t matter now. We know what a final means and what a game that decides everything means. That is in the past and we should take ready for what waits us tomorrow."
