- How do you rate in 2009 in basketball terms for Tony 7?
- This is the most successful year for our club. With our cadet team played the state championship finals in Sofia. After 6 perfect match is not our forces came in the game for gold medals, just because of this tournament every game was like a final and played all of 100% against us.

- A level of women?
- Last season the women played a young team that did not have much experience. It did not look bad against the big clubs, but against those of our level did challenging matches. This years she finished in the best possible way and there is no loss in their own hall in Sliven, beating and adolescents.

That is A group of women is a very good solution. Thus a young team like ours can develop and go up accordingly for young talents in Bulgarian basketball, not so much, this is a great opportunity for expression. Overall 2009 was a successful year for us will be happy hereafter every year things are even better.

We gave 5 national players of Bulgarian basketball, four of which we imagined at the European Championships for adolescents. This is something positive and means that we work for the good of our basketball.

- You fined by BSE with 3000 leva for forfeiture. Was it fair?
- How thto be fair since there was no opportunity to move for this match. We called to the office of the federation to postpone our match. I guess they would do it, but colleagues from Rouse did not show any understanding and therefore came to this forfeiture.

For me, the lives of girls was more important then the team was only 3 girls over 18 years, the others were below that age. Who would be responsible if something had happened to them. We did everything possible to travel for the match.

First Sliven municipality had undertaken to carry out transport for the match, but in this situation, they gave us, because all drivers and even the mayor of our town Yordan Lechkov had undertaken to help people trapped in the Sliven Balkan. Then we looked for our sponsor by Toyota to ensure our cars, but then we responded that they would risk at this time to send someone.

Finally turned cam licensed transport company, which has regular service to Ruse. Initially, they agreed, but then their buses were returned by police in the passage Hainboaz and we refused. We issued a document with which to inform the federation, but this apparently was not enough. Posing himself all the documents of the Executive Director of our Federation and we hope that this money be restored to us because we were unfairly fined for a small club like ours are important. "

- How is working with youngsters at the club?
- Very good, even exceeding my expectations. We have established groups, many new children came into the room, I must stress and help this happen to the person who helps me to work with podrastvROTECTION - Manuel Rodero. This is the most enthusiastic I've ever met, devoted entirely to the game and work with children. With it, after the New Year we decided to get into all the schools in our town.

It was his initiative that seeks to apply in our club, as in his native Spain. At the end of this year made a gift for every child in our school. It was a great satisfaction to see children in the eyes of their joy of being with us.

Otherwise the team girls club expect good rankings even more - right to say I want to play finals again this year and hope to emerge victorious after its end. Girls who are in this team deserve it, they are a great team and good basketbolistki. And most importantly, are dedicated entirely to what they do for them when their life does basketball. And I have to admit I that my life is just basketball. "

- For nothing I regret, one must look positively at things and look ahead. "

- I want to thank especially all the girls who are currently and those who were in our team this year, Stefan Mihailov, who was last season with us and helped me a lot to all who are involved with what do now in our club.

There is no way not to thank and supportso that we have a municipality of Sliven, Yordan Lechkov the mayor, the people who help develop the whole Sliven sport with Roussev Peter professionalism and Krasimir Krastev, and thank our sponsors Kaloyan Ganev. These are people without whom Tony 7 would not be what it is now.

- What are your expectations for the coming 2010?
- I do not know what to expect from the new year, I want everything to be okay in the league for women to introduce in the best possible way and now we start to pick the fruits of labor, which all have made in recent years. Believe me, it's not too small. So I think 2010 will be better than before. Adolescents to achieve success and develop a school on an even higher level. "
