INTERVIEW: Damjan Stojanovski – “I have loved MZT since my childhood”

Macedonia national team member and captain of MZT Skopje Aerdorom Damjan Stojanovski spoke for our official website regarding the season, MZT Skopje Aerodrom and ABA League in general. Take a look.

How satisfied are you with the season so far?

"Despite the relatively good start, when we have made three victories in a row, I do not consider this season to go especially well for our team, since we have afterwards entered a streak of defeats and our position in the standings is just not the way we wanted it to be. However, a major part of the season is still ahead of us and we have enough time to make things right and to reach our maximum.”

What do you consider to be the main advantage of your team when looking to the competition and what are your minuses that you still have to work on?

"I believe that our advantage is our play on the defensive end, but we still have a lot of work to do on our offense and on teamwork.”

Before the season your agreement with MZT Skopje Aerodrom has expired. What were your main motives for the contract extension?

"My main motive was to stay at the club that I have loved since my childhood. I believe I have every right to say that me and club are happy to have reached an agreement on contract extension on mutual satisfaction.”

You have been playing in ABA League for several seasons now. What is your opinion of the competition, it"s quality and possibilities for young players to make progress? Is there any game that stayed in your special memory throughout these years?

"ABA League is one of Europe"s strongest club competitions and certainly its quality is increasing every season. The league is excellent for the progress of young players and offers them opportunity to gain invaluable experience for their future careers. The game that remained in my memory as the best so far is the victory over Partizan NIS at home court in 2012/13 season.”
