"Shaki" head coach: "We are not easily defeated in Shaki, we are experiencing a tall player problem"

"Shaki" basketball club is not easily defeated in home matches." Sport24.az reports that this was stated by "Shaki" head coach Bedri Meric in a statement to the press service of the regional representative.

The expert shared his views on the match against NTD 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 away game for Group A teams as well. 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 sent off with technical fouls. We need to solve this problem. We need them on our field. Because they received early fouls, we cannot benefit from their services on the field. The fact that 2 of our local players faced this problem prevented the score from being large. We are experiencing a tall player problem."

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 Berkoz as an opponent. It was a very nice feeling. I wish Derin success in his career. I hope it will benefit Azerbaijani basketball."

It should be noted that the Group A match held at the Shaki Olympic Sports Complex ended with the victory of "Shaki" with a score of 88:81.
