Dardan Berisha returned to UN Peja, but not as a player. He led Peja as coach to the championship match against Rahoveci, to the gym “Mizahir Isma”, which took place on Sunday. This duel, belonging to the 23rd lap of Kosovo's basketball Superleague, ended with Rahoveci's convincing victory with numbers 79:59. For Peja captain Berisha, this was his first career coaching game, but this post will be temporary for him. He was forced to lead Peja to this match because both coach Dragan Radovic and his deputy, Petrit Zeqiri, had resulted positive in tests for the coronarys. Thus, it is not ruled out that Berisha is also the coach of Peja until Zeqi's Radovqi is returned. And Berisha has admitted that such a situation would make him the Peja coach he did not intend, at least not in this edition.
Only the captain of the club, in such a situation when the two trainers are missing, has the right to lead the game. And when added to this, the fact that I haven't been able to play because of the injury, then I was coach to Rahovet”, Berisha said of TIME. “The unexpected situation forced me to do the coach's job, which I didn't think I would do right away. At first it was unexpected, but I had to lead the team. But I'm hoping next time I will have the role of leader in the parks and not out of it”.
For Berisha, this was the fifth consecutive match that will not be activated in Peja because of the injury. However, he is a great optimist that in the upcoming duel, the one against Ponte Prizren, he will be able to play. Above all, he hopes to help Pec end the negative series, since the loss to Rahovec was the fifth consecutive defeat in Superliga. Currently, Peja is fourth on the table with 35 points collected.
This was the fifth fight I missed because of the injury and I'm hoping for the next duel to be ready for play. Of course, I hope the trainers are also willing to lead the team, because otherwise I'm going to have to be a coach, though I want to play. Everything will depend on this situation that has now been created”, Berisha added. “due next match I expect better Peja performance and more efficient game. It is important to stop this series of five losses and return to victory. I firmly believe in this”.
Berisha acknowledged that the coach's task was evidently more difficult than that of the player. As a coach, Berisha was very calm throughout the meeting, and added that he was not pleased to see his associates in the parks, trying to win over Rahovec. He even tried to give instructions throughout the game, but finally Rahovez proved to be a better team.
I didn't prepare the team at all, and I didn't train, so I couldn't get nervous, but I just tried to help, even though it was very hard to see my fellow players fighting and not be able to help within”, Berisha said, who had no contact with Coach Radovovic on how to lead the team to Rahovec. I mean, as a coach, it was harder for me, because as a player, I have the situation more in my hand and many things depend on me. It wasn't easy for me to stand there at all”.
In Peja, only three basketball players ended the match with a double score against Rahovec. Brandon Walters was the most distinguished at 22 points and 11 jumps, AJ Walton had 16 Sosh, while Leony Dandy added 13 points and 11 jumps, which did not suffice to avoid defeat. Darrell Davis, who returned to Rahovez, was the most efficient with 30 points, eight singles jumps, until Arian Qallaku made 16 points. With this victory, Rahoveci has risen to 37 points and takes third place on the board. The match between Ponte Prizren and the Brotherhood took place Sunday, which ended with the presidential team's victory, with the result 93:83. With this triumph, Ponte Prizren has strengthened its first position on the 39-point board, one more than the second Golden Eagle Star. However, the brotherhood remains the last on the 30-point board. This defeat by Ponte Prizren interrupted the Brotherhood series of three consecutive victories. Divine Myles (31) of Kwame Vaughn (27) were the most prominent to Ponte Prizren, while Emmanuel Emogbo was singled out at the Brotherhood with 20 marks, eight dances and as much association.
