"We didn't have any illusions about the draw. We didn't divide the opponents into strong and weak before the draw." Sport24.az reports that this was said by Rimas Kurtinaytis, the head coach of the "Sabah" basketball club.
The experienced specialist evaluated the Champions League draw. He stated that the opponents are strong enough: "One of our opponents in Group B, "Alba," will compete under the FIBA flag again after a 24-year break. This team has been a permanent resident of the EuroLeague for many years. Its level is known. I think it is one of the favorite teams to win the tournament. "Nymburk" has previously been "Sabah's" opponent in the FIBA Europe Cup. It is a disciplined team with a squad of quality basketball players. Last season, they advanced to the 1/4 finals in the Champions League. There are also good teams among our potential opponents in the qualifying stage. I played as a player for the French representative "Elan Chalon." In short, there are no weak opponents in the Champions League. We are forming a competitive squad. We can compete with these teams."
It should be noted that the regular championship in the Champions League will start on October 7.
