Bob Mladenov wished success to the national team in EuroBasket 2011 30.08.2011

Bulgarian national basketball team will take part in EuroBasket 2011 which will be held from 31.08 to 18.09 in Lithuania. Coaches of BC Beroe will comment on the performances of our internationals in the club's official website.

Today, head coach men's team Georgi Mladenov parse group D, which together with the team of Bulgaria are Slovenia, Belgium, Russia, Ukraine and Georgia. Here's what he said:

In the very drawing lots, our group seemed lighter and easier to overcome, but this is just an initial impression. By looking at it, the people involved and understanding of basketball will recognize the fourth of the European Championship two years ago - Slovenia and the European champion for the 2007th - Russia.

On the other hand teams of Ukraine, Georgia and Belgium are on our rug, but in recent years, play hard against them. But they all have players in the NBA and the Euroleague, so to succeed you will have to surpass. I think our main trump card of this tournament will be team play. We need to play games in such a way as to leave a trail and come back with heads held high. It depends only on the boys - how to approach what mood and confidence will wear a flag shirt. On this forum, any satezatel should give the most of yourself for the team to succeed.

In preparation for the tournament has produced some nasty injuries and I hope that rakovodstvodstvoto team starts with the best available to athletes as now. Basically I've always been an optimist and believe that when you do what must ultimately be his fate thankA. From experience I know that every big race and needed a little luck, where and when needed.

I wish them success and show that in Bulgaria is playing good basketball and have a place at the European Championships!
