The comment of the head coach of BC “Prometey” Ronen Ginzburg on the eve of the EuroCup game, which will take place on November 22 at 21:00 in Ljubljana with BC “Cedevita Olimpia”.

-Coach, “Prometey” played two days in a row in Tallinn and suffered the first loss in the Latvian-Estonian league. What would you like to see from your players in Ljubljana?

-First of all, as I say all the time, we cannot win all games. There are some teams where we will have some difficulties. For sure, to play two days in a row is not easy, but, for sure, I don’t want to see from my players in Ljubljana the same defense like we played in the last game. We need to improve as we are going to play against the much better team than we played yesterday.

-Sydorov and Lukashov got injured. They are your two point guards. How are you going to solve this problem in the game against “Olimpia”?

-It is not easy to play without two point guards. I hope, at least Lukashov will play, Sydorov, for sure, will not. Right now, we are a little bit struggling with injuries, we came back from the national teams and we are not in 100% shape as we were before. We need to find a solution and do our best to cover the absence of Sydorov.

-Ljubljana was two seconds before securing for themselves a place in the quarter-final of the EuroCup last season. But so far, Slovenian team does not have any victories and is sitting the last place in their group. What can you say about our opponent?

-Ljubljana is a great club. Like you said, last year and all years their goal was to go to the Euroleague. They started this season not very well; they brought a lot of good players. Probably, it will take them time, but, for sure, they have a lot of good players and they are a good team. When they play off, it will be a great result if we win the game over there.
