Marjan Ilievski: I want the players to give their maximum
KK Kozuv will host KK Mornar tomorrow in the first semifinal of SIGAL-UNIQA Balkan League. The match in Gevgelija will start at 19.00 hrs local time and will be LIVE on Sportmedia.tv. Here is what Marjan Ilievski, the head coach of Kozuv, had to say before the match:
"I think it′s well known that in the last month we have problems with injuries which doesn′t let us to enter in good rhythm. Kozuv′s classification for the semifinals is a repeat from last season performance and given the fact that there were a lot of changes in the roster and of coaches, I′m happy with what we′ve done in the Balkan League so far.
We are playing at home tomorrow against a team with high ambitions and a team that is performing consistently in BIBL and its local league. They also made some changes to the roster and strengthened it. We are playing in our home court and I think we have the ability to perform well. It gives us an advantage but there is also pressure playing at home.
I′ll know tomorrow which players I′m going to have at disposal for the match. I want the players that will dress for the game to give their maximum and to make the best possible result. Now the most important is the upcoming contest and we′ll try to take the maximum from it."
