In the 29th round of the Euroleague, Partizan’s basketball players are visiting the Efes team on Thursday, and Zeljko Obradovic had something to say before the very important game against the two-time winner of this competition.
The team led by Ergin Ataman welcomes the duel with Partizan after the victory against Real Madrid with the score of 90:89 in the backward match of the 24th round, but also strengthened by recovered players.
“Efes will be complete, they have Micic and Larkin coming back, who are the most important in the team. We have to prepare in the best possible way and try to play a normal match,’ said Obradovic.
Partizan is currently in seventh place in the Euroleague with 15 wins and 13 losses, while Efes is only tenth with 14 wins and losses each.
“I’m sure they won’t praise their motives, you heard the statements of Ataman who said that this match is crucial for them in every way. I think that their way of preparing for that game will be such that they will want to play their best against us,’ said Obradovic.
Before Istanbul, Partizan defeated Red Star Meridianbet in the eternal derby in the 21st round of the ABA League.
“Each victory brings confidence, and this year we have many games. The way we started and finished the derby is proof that the players believe in themselves, but the focus is on what lies ahead, we must forget what happened before,’ concluded Zeljko.
