TROPHY CASE:National championship (2): 1990, 1992

Tatyana Gateva, Beroe coach: »Our first aim was to qualify for F4 and we are happy that we complete it withbest balance of all teams in the season so far. Despite that the standing stands us against the home team whichis one of the best in the WABA League. We are preparing for the matches by the best way we can eventhoughit is difficult because our foreign players have not official game for more than 20 days. I believe that if we playclever and calm we got our good chances in the semi final with Celje and after that the cup will be one stepcloser.«

Goran Boskovic, Buducnost Bemax coach: »I expect a very demanding and uncertain finaltournament. The favorites are Beroe and Celje. In our semi-finals with the Red Star, the opportunitiesfor promotion are equalized. In the regular season, the Red Star won in Belgrade, we won in Podgorica. It’sgoing to be a tough game. The important things wille be concentration, aggression, energy and fewermistakes.«
