    “Crvena Zvezda is probably the team in the best form in the competition, especially at home, where they play with superior intensity due to the way they use their bodies and how they move in all situations. An important part of the game will be controlling turnovers and managing defensive rebounds, which is also something my team needs to improve significantly.” – Pascual began and continued:

    “We are among the weakest teams in the league in defensive rebounds. We need to rebound better, secure the boards more effectively, and run the fast breaks more efficiently. These are the three fundamental areas we must work on gradually, as they cannot be changed overnight.”

    Aside from the upcoming game, Pascual also shared his thoughts on this competition format:

    “I would say that, with the new system, the EuroLeague is a competition that ‘kills coaches.’ Everyone gets frustrated very quickly. There are so many games that it’s extremely difficult to find consistency. Often, things carry over from previous years; you start the new season already under pressure, and when things go wrong, patience disappears quickly.” – The Barcelona coach concluded. 

    Crvena Zvezda has a 9–4 record, while Barcelona trails by just one win. The game between the two clubs is set for Friday at 8 p.m.
