"I knew in advance that it would be a very difficult game. Because we went to the match without some local and legionnaire basketball players."
Ugur Ozdemir, head coach of "Khirdalan" basketball club, told Idman.biz.
The Turkish expert commented on the game against "Sumgayit" of the II round of the Azerbaijan Basketball League. He said that they made very simple mistakes in the defense of the match they won with the score of 81:77: "This made the process even more difficult. In some moments, including the first period, there were not enough substitutions, so the team got tired and lost concentration. In general, we could not execute some of our pre-planned departures properly. My team played very well in the last period. We have a team that is getting better from game to game. That's why we finished the match with victory."
According to Ozdemir, Jakorie Archie and Jaydon Sails played a big role in their victory: "Fikret Alakbarov was able to make us happy in very critical moments."
It should be noted that "Khirdalan" defeated "Shaki" in the first round with a score of 102:78.
