2nd game : Bulgaria (1-1) 65 - 103 Israel (2-0)
The word of the manager
« Man it’s been painful to watch… I mean, what do these israelian guys eat ? We definitely need their recipee ! They looked like some 23yo playing against reserve team.
Joke aside, I’ve been wrong with my tactical choices. Worst thing is I’ve thought about 3-2 and outside focus but we were so weak inside that I’ve been scared of a massacre if ever they decided to attack us in the paint. But again, my mistake.
Good point is Draganov’s match. He showed us how good he is offensively but now I need him to work on his defense if he wants more playing time. I also have an eye on his teammate Urba who might join us soon. Other good point, Kratunkov’s injury has been managed by our doctor, who knew we couldn't afford his absence, and he shouldn’t miss any game.
Anyways, there was not much to hope for this game. My guys did their best and I’m proud of their fighting spirit. My only hope is to do better against France and it starts with good game shapes this friday. Then I’ll have to drink less when preparing the game, but that’s another story... »
