Zlatan PRESIC, BC Khimki coordinator-coach of youth and youthful teams:

— At this tournament for BC Khimki play guys of 1994 year of birth. We decided to give them more practice on the threshold of future competitions with the one aim — to test them at the court and determine their real level. This championship is very useful: our players will make faster progress. Today I was confident for our players, but first minutes of the game they felt nervous: for sure, the reason was not very high level of team-work. But after half-break everything was okay. I suppose step by step we progress and we will show our real class in future matches.
