"As young players, it is clear that the priority of all of them is to
reach the senior team, but it's a chance to have only if it's really
deserved. "
With that in mind, Repesa will take a good look at the
young and old in the national team set-up and see which players have
the ability, both in terms of talent, focus and determination, to help
Croatia not only reach the EuroBasket in Slovenia but to do well there.
"We've put a quality program together for this summer," Repesa said.
"And
our aim is not only the qualification for the EuroBasket in Slovenia,
but also to make a homogeneous team and a game system that will be
recognizable and will give us the guarantee of continuity of the work,
and finally bring a good result in Slovenia."
Repesa led the team
qualification for EuroBasket 2007, and the Olympics, and felt like his
players had the ability to not only capture a medal but challenge for
gold.
