"I can't put the blame on anyone in particular. I think we have the potential to become a great team in this league."
According to Idman.Biz, this was stated by team member Kobi Montgomery in an interview with the club's press service.
We present this interview:
- There is currently a break in the league, giving teams an opportunity to rest and prepare for the next games. How is the preparation going and what is the mood in the team?
- Preparation for the next games is going well. We had the opportunity to recover both physically and mentally. We must be fully prepared for the upcoming games.
- NTD did not start the season well and lost the first seven games. What do you see as the main reasons for this?
- I can't put the blame on anyone in particular. I think we have the potential to become a great team in this league. But at the same time, we are the youngest team in the championship. And in a league full of experienced players, this makes things difficult. Still, I believe we can change the situation.
- There have been quite a few changes in the squad since the beginning of the season. How much strength do you think the new players can add to the team?
- The new players who have joined the team have helped us a lot. But there are also difficulties along the way, as everyone has to adapt to new roles. If we all have a winning mentality, it will definitely work in our favor.
- How do you rate the level of the Azerbaijan Basketball League?
- I would say that a very high level of basketball is played in the Azerbaijan basketball league. The league is very competitive. Since this is my first year in professional basketball, I didn't fully know what to expect. But it is very positive for me to gain such experience.
- Overall, have you been able to get used to Azerbaijan?
- Living in Azerbaijan is great. I am more of a homebody, so I haven't been able to travel much to fully experience the country. But I haven't had any problems either. The only thing that is difficult for me is the language barrier.
