Zeljko Obradovic shared his impressions at the press conference after Partizan’s game against Virtus.
Zeljko Obradovic tried to lead his team back to the winning track in the elite competition and achieve another “break” in Bologna for the second consecutive season. He did not succeed, mainly due to a significant number of turnovers in the final moments.
“An excellent basketball game, with ups and downs. I am very proud of how we played. We fought a lot, even though we had some issues with certain players. We lost the game, and we gave away some possessions cheaply due to their aggressiveness. Therefore, they deserved the win. Excellent job by my team, congratulations to Virtus, and thanks to the fans who came, it means a lot to us,” said Obradovic.
“I believe they are playing exceptionally well. Luca is doing a good job, and it’s a team with a lot of potential to finish among the top four teams and reach the Final Four. They are playing very well.”
“I would love to explain what happened, but I can’t explain it either. Four small players played pressing, and it’s the easiest thing in the world to bring the ball into play. We didn’t solve it, nor did we bring the ball into play. In the fourth quarter, we had six turnovers, and that’s why we directly lost. There is no psychological drop because you play games every two days. You need to prepare and think about what’s ahead, whether you win or lose,” concluded Obradovic.
In the upcoming EuroLeague game, Virtus’s team will play against Monaco. Partizan plays Bayern at home.
