Jovica Arsic: «Enisey is not in great shape, but way better than a month ago»

Enisey head coach Jovica Arsic commented his expressions about the first pre-season stage which was in Krasnoyarsk and told about the importance of friendly games.

«A month ago we started work, starting with physical conditioning. We have done a lot of work so far, but the team is not yet in optimal condition. Because we didn’t have all the players available, most of them have been coming during the process. So we are not in great shape, but way better than a month ago.

Now we are heading to the training camp, where we will play friendly games, which will show us the disadvantages that we should work on. And there we will have the whole team in the training camp.

I cannot say that when we look at the upcoming friendlies, we look at the opponent we will meet. The main thing is to look at ourselves. The main advantage of having friendly games in the next month is that they will help us see our own pros and cons, understand who the leader is on the court, communication between players. And make important notes for the coaching staff. That’s why the main goal of the training camp, as I said, is to play the team, to understand our strengths and weaknesses. In order to hide our weaknesses and strengthen our advantages in the championship. I’m sure that we, both the coaching staff and the fans who will watch these games, will be able to see a lot of new things.»

Enisey pre-season preparation will continue in Turkey, where the Krasnoyarsk team will play a series of friendly games. The opponents will be Galatasaray, Samsunspor and Antalyaspor, as well as Zenit, Runa and Uralmash.
