"Shaki" basketball club is not easily defeated in home matches".
Idman.Biz reports that the head coach of "Shaki" Bedri Meriç said this in his statement to the press service of the regional representative.
The specialist shared his thoughts on the match with NTD, which they faced in the IV round of the Azerbaijan Basketball League:
"First of all, I congratulate my team on the victory. I thank our fans who supported us. We have a habit from last season. We are not easily defeated in Shaki. This season, Shaki will be a difficult trip for A group teams. We can show our game here. I am satisfied with the performance in attack, but not in defense. Today, both Ercan Donat and Rashid Abbasov were removed with a technical foul. We need to solve this problem. We need them on our field. Since they received an early foul, we cannot use their services on the field. The fact that 2 of our local players faced this problem prevented the score from being high. We are experiencing a problem with tall players."
The head coach said that they faced his son as opponents for the first time:
"Despite playing with 4 foreigners, NTD performed well. It was also a special match for me. For the first time, I faced my son Derin Berköz as an opponent. It was a great feeling. I wish Derin success in his career. I hope it will benefit Azerbaijani basketball."
It should be noted that the A group match held in Shaki Olympic Sports Complex ended with the victory of "Shaki" with a score of 88:81.
