The headquarters of the Russian team, which is preparing for the selection of the Olympic Games, faced resistance from basketball players.
Sport-Express reports that the country’s top basketball players, including Alexei Swede, Vitaly Fridzon, Sergei Karasov, Dmitry Chvostov and Andrei Zubkov, are refusing to help the national team.
According to sources, the players rebelled against team strategist Sergei Bazarevich and Sergei Panov. It is believed that the main players of the national team showed little interest in the basketball players during the season and did not show initiative to solve the personal problems of some players.
“A call from the man. A coach or CEO is considered normal practice every six months, – Sport-Express quotes a comment from the source. – Basketball players simply do not agree with situations that require a compromise. For example , Andrei Zubkov asked to come to the training camp later, but the request was not granted.
In addition to all that, players only find out about the invitation to the national team on the official website of the federation. The basketball players do not receive any official invitation, they all explain their situation through the federation staff “.
Previously, Panov publicly revealed that several basketball players are reluctant to represent Russia.
“Understand, we cannot force men to play for the national team,” he said. “There are only those in the team who are ready to defend the colors of the flag in tournaments with bright eyes.”
At the end of May, the Russian Federation published an expanded list of candidates with 22 surnames, but Sweden was not included.
The team led by Bazarevičius should visit Kaunas in the middle of the month, where a match with the Lithuanian team is scheduled for June 22.
Russian basketball players will be looking for a ticket to the Tokyo Olympics in qualifying in Croatia, where Group A will compete against Germany and Mexico.
Group B will compete in Tunisia, Croatia and Brazil.
