The captain of Red Star Meridianbet Branko Lazic spoke about the upcoming season and the role of the favorite of the red and white team.
The former defender of the Serbian national team looked back at Teodosic and said that he spoke with him before he arrived at the club.
“We heard each other once and saw each other at a private celebration, where we talked a little more. At that time, it had already been decided that he would come, although it was not official. It was resolved after a few days, there was no need for any persuasion.” Lazic began.
This year, the red and white team assembled a great team, full of players from the Euroleague. The public speculates that this will be the best Red Star team ever, but Branko does not like the role of favorite.
“I don’t like to talk about the fact that we are the strongest team on paper. This has been shown many times to mean nothing, that the field is the only real measure. We will see when we draw the line whether we are the best or not. On paper, it certainly is, but paper is one thing, the field is another. This has been shown many times through the Euroleague and the ABA league.” concluded Lazic.
