Without any Serious Purpose

Fans are eagerly awaiting the start of the European Cup club tournament in basketball for women. The fact that Yerevan “Atis”, who represented our country in the last year, showed a successful game. There was a lot of rumors about what the new season, our team will make an even stronger structure. The reality is that basketball championship in Armenia carried out by the way, and the level of play of existing teams, to put it mildly, is not high. Thus, the fans just do not see party Europe championship “Atis” in our domestic championship.

What happened was like a cold shower. The tournament was the draw of the European Cup, our team met twice, and both suffered defeat. In the first case, our team with an important difference in Novosibirsk defeated local team Dinamo – police, “and the house suffered inglorious defeat in the game with the Israeli” Elitzurom – 82:59 (19:21,11:19, 20:15,19: 27).

In fact, after such a start has been created undesirable situation. If we take into account the fact that the group F, which consists of three teams, only two continue to fight, it becomes clear what will happen. This means that significant financial resources that were expended in order to have a club participating in the European Championship did not serve its purpose and has been spent in vain.

By the way, this season does not have the enthusiasm that has been in the past, and it’s immediately noticeable. It is hard to say what the reason. By the way, the organizers prior to the game with the club, “Elitzur,” said they would sell tickets. In the previous season, were also prepared tickets, but they are distributed to sports organizations, but this time the tickets cost 3-5 thousand drams. It is difficult to say how many tickets were sold, but when the game started, at the gym, Mika had quite a few vacant seats. By the way, remained dissatisfied with the media. The fact is that they tend to leave the best seats. At this time they have been allocated places where ends playground.

As for the “Atis”, it’s his game left a bad impression. The team did not look like the team, had a lot of uncoordinated action. And the biggest omission was that did not work out 3-point shots. It began with the fact that the central team player Eric Davis allowed the first promo, and it’s like a chain reaction spread to other players, and they began to admit mistakes, one after another.

Whatever it was, the main goal, “Atis” leave the group and get the right to continue the fight. Gazanchyan in this sense, considers it very important meeting “Atis” – “Dinamo-police” 18 November. According to head coach of our team, this enemy is weaker than the Israeli club, and a victory could help “Atys” to the next stage.

As regards the transition to the next stage, for our team, they are vague. One thing is clear, even if a miracle happens, “Atis” again will neither be able to claim that in the fight with powerful competitors. And without major goals is meaningless to participate in competitions of this magnitude.
