Sasha Obradovic led the Monaco team from the bench to a historic placement in the F4 Euroleague.
The “Princes” achieved great success over Maccabi, whom they defeated in the fifth game on their home floor.
In an interview with “Sputnik”, Obradovic spoke about the current season of the Euroleague, and the inevitable topic was the performances of Partizan and Red Star Meridianbet.
“I’m sorry for Partizan and how it all ended. But it’s the Euroleague and I’m not surprised. Real is a quality club, it is enough to have a small bad phase, and on the other hand, there is a team with great quality that knows how to use it and punish you. It would sound really good if two Obradovics were in the Final Four.
This has probably never been recorded before, nor will it ever be. Now, we don’t know if there will be more Obradovics in the future. I feel sorry for Serbian basketball because Partizan deserved to be part of the Final Four. The combination of some such stupid circumstances, incomprehensible in many ways, influenced such an epilogue”, said Sasha Obradovic in an interview for the aforementioned portal.
Monaco will play in the semi-finals against Olympiakos, who reached Kaunas via Fenerbahce.
“As much as we had the desire to repeat last year’s success, which is to be in the Top 8, that part was certainly difficult. Hardly any of the players, who have potential and are good, could have hoped for that.
In general, they have never been to the playoffs, we are talking about the players they lost, not those who were like James, Diallo and Montiejunas, they have experience. However, the players who came like Loyd and Okobo, they were practically not in a situation to experience such success”, said Sasha Obradovic.
