Petko Delev: EuroBasket U-18 is going to be tough, but we have talent
The head coach of the Bulgaria juniors U-18 team Petko Delev predicted a really tough EuroBasket for his team in Division A. The specialist told BGbasket.com that the team′s got talent though. Here are his thoughts about the championship in Latvia this summer:
"Our participation at EuroBasket will be very tough as we are the only
Bulgarian national team to play in Division A. On the top of that we
are in a group with the host of the championship Latvia and the strong
teams of Turkey and France. Unfortunately we will have a short camp,
but I hope we can figure out some good plays on offense and defense.
Despite all, I am optimistic and in my opinion there are many talented
young players on our team. The most important task of the youth
national teams is to develop that talent and produce players for the
mens national team.
Our first goal is to win a victory in the group stage so that we keep
our spot in Division A. I think we can achieve something bigger than
that. When you are the underdog you could always surprise some of the favorites."
