Evren Alkaya: "Defeating Georgia was important for us"

"Georgia was a strong and powerful team."

Idman.biz reports that this was said by Evren Alkaya, the head coach of Women’s U16 national team of Azerbaijan.

The expert commented on the 97:40 victory over Georgia in the Division C of the European Championship. He said that they were superior due to the correct game system: "They were physically too big and therefore they moved a bit slowly. We used it skillfully. We defended well against their attacks. We were very ambitious in the defensive plan. We continue to increase from game to game. Our goal is to finish the tournament at the highest level. Children are highly motivated. We have no casualties. We want to win tomorrow and qualify for the playoffs as the group leader. I hope that we return to Azerbaijan in the best way. It was important for us to win against Georgia. Because women's basketball has developed in this country."

Tomorrow, Azerbaijan will play its last game in the group stage against Cyprus.
