Vlade Djurovic commented once again on Crvena Zvezda and Partizan after the so-called double round of the EuroLeague away games for “Arena Sport.“
The Red and Whites initially convincingly defeated Fenerbahce, but subsequently suffered a loss against Olympiacos in Piraeus. Partizan initially lost to Bayern in Munich, but then somewhat healed their wounds with a triumph against Berlin’s Alba.
Crvena Zvezda and Partizan lose games in the final minutes, reach a tie or take the lead, and then miss the shot for victory. Red Star was losing against Olympiacos, had a chance to do something, but lost the ball, missed an open shot. It’s not a tragedy; Olympiacos is a formidable team, but look at this. Rokas Giedraitis, Stefan Lazarevic, and Dejan Davidovac played a total of 58 minutes, scored 11 points, and had four rebounds,” noted Vlade Djurovic and continued:
“Both teams need to start winning and make a breakthrough. We can’t wait any longer. Partizan has now defeated Alba, securing four victories, but they are 15th in the standings. Those ahead haven’t even played Alba yet, and they will all win. So, fans get complacent, thinking we’re better than Crvena Zvezda. Yes, but that’s not enough. I seem worried because this is not good. Nine games have passed.
We are not satisfied; we expected more from our two clubs in the EuroLeague. It will be difficult for both clubs to be in the top ten, and to achieve that, they need to leave eight teams behind. Except for Alba and Asvel, although Asvel changed the coach, there are Bayern, Zalgiris, Valencia, Milan, Efes… How do you leave them behind? There may be many games to play, but forget about that. They are all big clubs with strong fan bases, except for Monaco, or rather, Alba, which is not serious.
