Back of barracks and Brekal
Dutton said that this summer was working hard, they did not communicate and communicated much towards outside, but today they used the opportunity to say the public what all took place in the club of this summer.
New “things” are certainly two people who do not need to be particularly represented and which are part of history and have their merits in what is wide so far and what will be. We are before the end of last season Started conversations And at the end of the season, we agreed that Stanko Barać would return to the club and take over Position of sports directors Which is the acquisition of circumstances, after the death of the late Joseph, in a way remained vacant. Also, aware of the facts and knowing that wide survived and became you can only last if he has Good Own Youth Drive And that we must not lag behind or go a step back, then we also managed to arrange a return and Mate Brekal, said Dutton.
For the first time without players from Croatia
The President of the Club added that it was never more challenging and more difficult to agree to the team, and he also presented the details of the toy staff. 15 Current HKK players have professional contracts. Of these 15 players, 10 of them from BiH.
HKK wide has a total of 15 players – 10 from BiH, none of Croatia
We have three Americans, one Finca and one Slovenian. We don’t have the first time No player from CroatiaAnd here, from other ex-Yugoslav countries, we have only one Slovenes. It is interesting as it is that of these ten players from BiH, nine From our school basketball school. It’s just Perkovic from Livn, and not from our school, so, from my angle, it was terribly difficult to agree to the team, said Dutton.
Goals and ambitions
Dutton spoke in front of the club and goals for the coming season and the wishes for the future.
Our goals are Continuity of playing in ABA 2 leagues and yes Younger players They get as many space for the game as they could participate more tomorrow and replace these older days. Of course, it always remains we have to be Financially stable which is not easy at all or simple. The budget will remain at last year’s level, but it will be slightly smaller for the first team, and that will be poured more on the youth drive, which again we know that we want to continue developing our young players.
He stressed that he is Wide-specific club When it comes to funding because it is mostly funded by private sponsors that are grateful, but it considers that the budget structure must be changed.
By watching the budgets in BiH and in the region, we are definitely special because our budget is 85% of private money, and we see that in most teams from Bosnia and Igokea, which will play the ABA league, to all the others Total opposite situation. There is 80% or 90% of state money, and only 10% are private money.
It would be good for people from politics, from the Croatian people and BiH, make sure that the percentage of these changes because I think without that more interest will be difficult for any club to be at a higher level than it is now.
Stanko Barać pointed out Satisfaction for returning to the home club And the opportunities to give their knowledge and experience, which he has gained playing in the largest European clubs, can transfer to players and trainers in the club.
Stanko Barać – Returnee in the club at the Function of the Sports Director
I would especially emphasize that we made a big move by bringing Mate Brekal to the position of the youth drive. Knowing his way of working, especially his character, I’m sure the results will be very quickly visible and youth drive and the development of young players should be foundation On which we will build my future of our club. It is as far as this is the first team. We have a young, radical coach that prefers more modern game and faster basketball style. Accordingly, we brought new players to adapt to Coach wishes. So I think we brought good players, of course, in line with your financial options, He said the gathered media bar.
Again on the seals
Well-known name on the furnaces, Mate Brekaloreturned to the club After eight years Because, as he says, he saw the opportunity where he can improve and promote his sports ideas.
Here I know we really have Excellent conditions regarding material conditions. So we are on us coaches that we simply arrange that right and to try real Club lead to another step more As for the work in the youth drive. I mean honestly that basketball in BiH and Croatia is on quite low branches And here I see we have a really opportunity to do something. My emphasis will be on Philosophy of work in youth drive where We can be a feather in this section of Herzegovina and Dalmatia, so to say a little broader region. This year we have already taken some players who were in representative selections because we consider that we, respecting all other clubs, we have the best terms and opportunities, Brekalo said.

The opinion of the main coach
First Team Trainer Marijan Bagarić Commented on the course of preparation during the past six weeks.
We work, we train, guys are worth and we go training by training, match a game so that I wouldn’t dare any notice to give. What we can do as a headquarters and players is that we are to the maximum every day And that’s how we work training and then it is mostly returned. As for the team itself, I’m happy with the guys. I think we made one good selection First of all that concerns character, and then basketball qualities, and what kind of job we have made and how we will do, we will best see the best through the matches that follow, said Bagaric.
Marijan Bagarić – Chief Coach of Senior Teams
Marijan Bagarić bench widely took over in quite a difficult period Last season when he inherited a long-term team coach with Pecare, Ivan Velić. Do our question believes that he will be easier in the new season of work considering that he still has Better insight into the homemade league And the facts that passing preparations from the beginning with the Bagarić team answered:
Surely it’s easier. I “sore” and happiness, so I would have remained there, which was of great assistance to me as far as insight itself in league, especially BiH. Now, I can say, it must be easier. However, many more guest visiting grounds I didn’t even see, but I’m looking forward to the challenge. Can’t wait to go Competition matches and I hope it will be okay, He said the coach of the Broketrizhan.
Bagaric also discovered that the team had not yet practiced in full potential and Roster, but gave its vision about the new foreigners in the team.
We still didn’t feel the full potential of the team. I hope we want to be the most important. As for new players, we talk about a playful Carry who has Individual qualityto spark both for themselves and for teammates. Extremely fast player, and there is also a tall American Jalyn McCreary. Same one Great persona, Physical predisposition has fantastic. I think we’ll be of great help. The last one arrived Finac Dolenc. An exceptional shotter, a tall player, we talk about the position of a fifet, exceptional shot. One excellent type, always cheerful, always positive and I think it Excellent teammate. I would stay on those comments for now, added Bagarić.
New-old captain
From a Toy Perspective your comment on the current situation in the team gave the Captain Team Josip Bilinovac.
As for the teams I think the Management did well. The skeleton of the team last season was kept, but I think we made a team that will be a little different than it was last year. Primarily here I think of our Playmaker Carry who really has that one Individual quality who can do better and others better.
There is some penetration and creation that may have been missing for us so much last year.
I think the team will look much faster and that we will demand that we play a lot more aggressive and not playing slowly, He said Bilanovac to whom this is not the first engagement in wide.
Josip Bilinovac – Captain HKK Široki
I somehow feel like I was in 2008. – 2009. years. I have been having experience of working with MATA and with everyone for a long time and I think this is real good opportunity for our guys From the youth drive. If you serve us health and with God’s help to make what we used to do what we have to do, and that is that we are competitive to everyone again, even in ABA 1 league. So I think we’re on the right track and need real have patience, And it’s up to us to give the maximum of yourself, He said captain.
