Brose Bamberg ends the preseason with two games against FILOU Oostende. Before things get really serious in the first game of the MagentaSport BBL Cup on October 17th, Johan Roijakkers’ team will meet the 20-time Belgian champions on Friday (without spectators) and Saturday (6 p.m., BROSE ARENA with audience). Remaining tickets for the game on October 10th are still available at tickets .bro sebam berg .de.
The past few days have been intense. After the defeat in the last test match in Bayreuth, some video analysis units were on the program, and training was carried out twice a day. Above all, Roijakkers was not satisfied with the energy of his team and stated after the 71:96 in the Upper Franconian duel: “The fact is that we are currently still missing a lot to play at the level we want to play at. In particular, the issues of energy and toughness are two things we have to work on. We are nowhere near where we want to be. At the moment we are still missing a ‘leader’, one who takes over the reins in the decisive phases – and when things don’t go well – and usurps the game. That will be the main task of the next training units: developing energy, toughness and leadership skills. “
In the remaining two preparatory games against FILOU Oostende, the head coach can now test for the last time how his team works best. And there will be serious tests, with Oostende, the outstanding Belgian team of the last few decades, first coming to Strullendorf, then to the BROSE ARENA. Head coach Dario Gjergja’s team has already won the national title 20 times and the trophy 18 times. It has also been an integral part of the Basketball Champions League since it was founded. Almost two weeks ago the Belgians were in Germany for a test match and won 81:71 at the Telekom Baskets Bonn. The best player back then was center Thomas Welsh with 20 points and nine rebounds. Brose’s captain Chase Fieler reunites with some old friends. He played for the club from the Belgian port city from 2017 to 2019 and was also champion twice during this time. “There are still a few guys with whom I have regular contact. We had a cool group together, we worked hard for the championships through passion and teamwork. ”And another guy meets some former companions. Elias Lasisi is currently supporting Brose Bamberg in training after the departure of Gerry Blakes and will also be in the squad in the upcoming games Oostende. The 28-year-old Belgian last played for the BG Göttingen and scored an average of 8.1 points in 17 games.
