After an intense summer that included his battle with health issues and Germany’s European Championship triumph, Alex Mumbru is ready to begin a new season on the Virtus Bologna<\/strong> bench.<\/p>\n

The Spanish coach, now fully recovered, attended the Italy-Serbia<\/strong> game at Vitrifrigo Arena in Pesaro and spoke briefly with Meridian Sport<\/em><\/a>. The main topic was David Kramer<\/strong>, whom Mumbru coaches with the German national team and who recently joined Crvena Zvezda<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Mumbru: \u201cI’m doing well and, most importantly, I’m happy\u201d<\/h2>\n

\u201cI’m doing well and, most importantly, I’m happy! I was with the national team and now I’m with Virtus, where I’m starting a new season. I’m enjoying it,\u201d Mumbru said.<\/p>\n

He then discussed Kramer’s move to Belgrade.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cCrvena Zvezda have built a very good roster, with good chances in the EuroLeague. David is a player with a serious reputation who came from Real Madrid. He is a very important player for the national team \u2013 an exceptional shooter who also knows how to play high-level defense. I’m sure he is a very good addition for Zvezda.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cKramer wanted to play more\u201d<\/h2>\n

According to Mumbru, Kramer’s decision to leave Madrid was mainly motivated by his desire for a bigger role.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHe didn’t have many minutes at Real because he had Sergio Llull, Theo Maledon\u2026 around him. He certainly wanted to play more and eventually decided to join a team that could offer him a bigger role. There is no doubt he will be important, and I’m convinced he can have a very good season at Zvezda.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Virtus coach also believes Kramer could become an X factor<\/strong> for the Serbian club.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhy shouldn’t he be the X factor?! I think he’s a very good player. Ibon knows him extremely well, as does assistant coach Alberto Navarro, so I’m sure they will get the best out of David.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cJokic is one of the best players on the planet\u201d<\/h2>\n

Mumbru also discussed Nikola Jokic<\/strong>, whom Germany faced last summer.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe played against him last summer, so I know him very well. He’s a very, very good player. What can I say about him?! A center who is also a point guard\u2026 He’s probably the key player for Serbia. He is one of the best players on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The new Virtus: \u201cWe want to build for the future\u201d<\/h2>\n

Mumbru also discussed his new adventure in Bologna, where he replaced Nenad Jakovljevi\u0107.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAs you know, we have a very young team, and we play in one of the oldest leagues in Europe. But we want to do our own thing and be a team for the future, not just for this season, but for what comes next. We want to play good basketball, and now is the right time to make good decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Finally, Mumbru looked at Germany’s path toward the next World Cup.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAs far as Germany is concerned, we’re currently in a good situation, especially after beating Poland. We played very well and I hope we can continue on that path,\u201d Mumbru concluded to Meridian Sport<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
