Red Star Meridianbet basketball coach Dusko Ivanovic spoke at a press conference before the duel against Fenerbahce in the last round of the regular part of the Euroleague.
The Red Star is in position number 10 with 16 wins and 17 losses, while Fenerbahçe is in fifth position with almost 19-14 and still has not secured a place in the Top 8 of the Euroleague.
Although he is not satisfied with the results, the Montenegrin coach has no objections to the efforts of the players in training and matches.
“I am extremely satisfied with the engagement and commitment with which these guys work, and I am not satisfied with the result because we did not enter the Top 8. I think it’s really a shame for this team, because if we had entered, we would have had a real chance to win. It’s easy to talk about this now that you’re outside,” says Ivanovic.
When it comes to tomorrow’s opponent, Dusko Ivanovic praised the qualities of the team led by Dimitris Itudis from the bench.
“Extremely high quality team, they won the last game against Efes maybe mostly thanks to the fact that they had some players who were injured, so they played with five short players and by playing with five short they made a difference. An extremely high-quality team, an exceptional number of players who can solve the game and “one-on-one” situations, low-post situations, they are extremely strong… And a very experienced team”, concluded the coach of Red Star Meridianbet.
The match in the hall “Aleksandar Nikolić” is scheduled for tomorrow from 19:00.
