Joan Penarroya has not been satisfied with Muurinen’s attitude.
Miikka Muurinen’s season at the Serbian giant has been difficult. AOP
Miikka Muurinen18, the season in Belgrade’s Partizan has turned into a raven’s migration. Playing time has not increased recently, especially after the team’s head coach changed.
For the local For Mondo Sport Partizan pilot Joan Penarroya, who spoke, decided to speak out about Muurisen.
– Miika has the potential to become a great player, but it is not enough. It doesn’t just happen with highlight videos. He is a young player and has good physical characteristics. He has not played in the professional series before, the Catalan pilot began.
Then the tone turned even darker.
– He doesn’t understand the tactical side of the game, which is completely normal because he is a young player and has played a different type of basketball. The Euroleague is a tough league, and not all NBA players can play there.
– I feel that he is just waiting to return to the United States, and I cannot create expectations for the player then, Penarroya said.
He referred to speculations about whether Muurinen will leave for the American university field immediately after this season.
– Partizan must play well. He is not good enough to play in this level of team. I still think he has the qualities to develop into an exceptional player. But he does not sufficiently understand all aspects of the game.
The coach emphasized that players make mistakes and only by making mistakes can you learn.
– His teammates understand that he is young, but only if he gives it his all.
The Finnish promise has not played since January 3rd, although Partizan plays in another league, the Adriatic ABA League, in addition to the Euroleague.
