Meridianbet Red Star coach Dusko Ivanovic addressed the media after the victory in the semi-finals of the Radivoje Korac Cup over Partizan.
Meridianbet’s Red Star basketball players defeated their eternal rival, the Partizan team, after a lot of drama and tension with a score of 75:83. At the beginning of the second quarter, the red and white coach Dusko Ivanovic was sent off, so the match was led by the Spanish specialist Carles Marco.
“I will add to the already stated analysis that I told the players that this is the second game, because we came to win the cup, and that tomorrow is the third and decisive one,” Ivanovic pointed out and added:
“In addition to the bad game in the first half, we had a great result, which is what I told the players in the dressing room. We lacked aggressiveness, which we achieved in the following.’
He also emphasized how much Facundo Campazzo means to the team.
“Campazzo is a player who played at a high level wherever he was – whether it was Spain or America, now here too. He will be even better and tonight he held the team, led the boys and I think he was too excited, because until now he has not played against such a strong opponent since he arrived in our ranks.’
He also congratulated his colleagues, who managed to carry the match to the end without him.
“This is a victory for the players as well as the coaching staff and the medical team, I wouldn’t single anyone out because we all win together, and when we lose, it’s my responsibility. Nothing is finished yet, we showed that we are a good team because we won the match after a huge 18 point deficit,’ Ivanovic finished.
