Dusan Ivkovic: This year we've reached the highest target - the "ticket" to Euroleague 

     Print Version

Dynamo Moscow Head Coach Dusan Ivkovic reviewed the season results and told about the nearest plans of the team.

- Coach, it was your first season with Dynamo Moscow. What was the most difficult for you in this season?

-The most difficult thing was to make the one team with a new coach and five new players. Now one season is back, and I'm sure that it'll be much easier next season, because we'll keep our team core.

- Who leaves the team?

- Mottola and Douglas. And�during the preparational period for the new season we'll decide who will stay in Dynamo, and who will leave our club.�Now we search the players for the positions of the power forward and shooting guard.

- If we speak about the sums of season, how do you evaluate the result of your team?

- We've�reached the highest�target this year - we've reached the right to play in Euroleague. It is first. After the ULEB Cup I was very optimistic with the players just with this advantage to jump from the fifth position, to try to play our best and, let's say, to win the Russian championship. Everybody was very optimistic, I was very optimistic, but in quarterfinal with UNICS our first game was ok, our second game was bad and our third game we lost here in the situation when the team fought till the last second. Now about the team is very clear that my team isn't tha same team with Papadopoulos and without Papdopoulos. It is first part. And the second part is that we prapared one tape, it's now in my hands, we want to present it to responsible for officiating how officiating was in Kazan. I told about it thara, but now I have all the facts in my hands, on this tape.

In this case I'm sorry that we didn't do what we like to do, but we have now very far from that, we're working for 24 hours for preparation for the next season.

Perhaps, my players mentally were not ready to play on the same high level, in the same rhythm both in Europe and Russia twice a week two important games. And after the January month team was more concentrated on the ULEB Cup games, but I never told to my players to be concentrated only on one target.

-� What is the team schedule for the summer period?�
- We are preparing for the new season gradually. Now our young players continue trainings - 10 times a week. After�June, 10 they will leave for three weeks for the special camp in Kapaonik, Montenegro in the high mountain region, where many players from NBA also willhave practices.�This camp will help them to improve physical and basketball�skills and abilities. Together with the Russian Dynamo Moscow players Bojan Popovic will join the camp. That the couple of days free in July, and after that the team�will continue�its preparation - some players will do it in the club, others - in the NT camps.

- What can you say about the targets for the new season?

- We'll determine the targets in September, when the team will be completed together.
