The comment of the “Prometey” head coach Ronen Ginzbirg on the eve of the team depature to Badalona for the 7DAYS EuroCup game with BC “Joventut”.

-Mr. Coach, at the moment, “Joventut” has four defeats at the start of the season: 3 in the ACB and 1 in the EuroCup. At the same time, many experts believe that the club from Badalona one of the main contenders for winning the EuroCup. What can you say about our next opponent?

-They are right. This is the best EuroCup team on both sides of the court. This is a club with great traditions. This is a top team of the Spanish league for many years. We will do our best in the game with them. However, we are going to play with an amazing team.

-Can you consider “Joventut” a well-balanced team with players of high level?

-Sure. They have 12 players of the same level, all of them have an ability to play on a top level, and their basketball players have great experience. This is a top-team of the ACB-league. It says about everything.

-Is it possible to compare “Joventut” with the Spanish teams that played against “Prometey” in the Champions league, I mean “Tenerife” and “Unicaja”?

-Let’s say, the club from Malaga is not of the same level. “Tenerife” was about at the same level with “Joventut” last season. Maybe the team from Badalona is a little bit better than “Tenerife”, but they are more or less at the same level.

-Gian Clavell did not play in the previous match of “Prometey” against “Tartu”. How is he now?

-He is OK. I guess Gian is ready to play. He participated in the morning training session and he will be on the evening one as well. So everything is fine with him.
