The president of Lukoil Academic Valentin Zlatev announced right after the game between his team and Dynamo Moscow that he will stop all Lukoil players from national team if Titi Papazov stay as assistant coach of Pini Gershon.

“The problems, if we talk about them are too many. It’s a success that we got so far. It was a good game. Dynamo is one very strong team with deep bench and big traditions,” said the boss of the “students”.

“We had no luck and no confidence. Until all sports gyms are like that and our championship is that bad everything will be like that. I’m very grateful to the crowd. We still didn’t give up and will give our best in Moscow.

The development of basketball is attitude of the whole society of ours. We need good coaches to teach young people. Not like we did with making Titi Papazov assistant coach in the national team. He exercise wherever he can,” continued the president of Lukoil Academic.

“Now he will exercise once again in the national team as assistant. My opinion is clear. We don’t talk about show, we talk about sports right here. It’s about time for him to understand that his vocation is not coaching in basketball,” finished Zlatev.
