Rilski Sportist is hosting Sigal Prishtina tomorrow evening for the second final game in EUROHOLD Balkan League. After the first Sigal is leading by 2 points so there is still everything to play for. Here is what Rilski′s head coach - Rosen Barchovski, had to say before the match:

"One can easily see that the players are heralded and in good mood. They are working with smiles on their faces, there is also self-confidence. It′s not very often for a team to be in such condition and this is a pleasant thing, especially as a coach to see your players working happily. The team is in good form, the team is playing in Finals and all this is normal. You can feel the situation, there is exalted atmosphere. Everything is like before a big Final.

To me the psychology for the game is very important. I′ll want us to try not to change anything in that matter because in Prishtina we played very focused and in the same time calm with no pressure. This is the most delicate thing - whether we are going to manage to do it because now the psychology has turned. They were the clear favourite and now suddenly the expectations towards us are higher as a home team. This is something that has to be done and also something I′m worried about. Regarding our play - I′m not a fan of big changes but in some details where we are missing something and the potential to improve, we are going to try. We are preparing like for any other game, I don′t want us to make something extraordinary and to put ourselves in some pressure. What gives me hope is the fact that the team already played a lot of decisive games under pressure and won them all.

The award for Best coach in EUROHOLD Balkan League is something to enjoy, for each coach it would be. This is some recognition. After all we reached to the final and I′ve been with the team for all the time. There were a lot of strong teams so this is recognition not only for me but for the clubs as well. The club has created conditions to the players to work and for themselves as well. A coach without the players is nothing. This is recognition for everybody but the award usually goes to a coach. The opposite thing is also valid - where there′s no success the coach takes the critics. I′m staying with my feet on the ground. Such thing cannot change me but surely is giving me one internal satisfaction."
