Obradovic: “Olympiacos is rightfully first, Panathinaikos remains great”

THE Partisan welcomes him on Friday Olympicby Zeljko Obradovic to speak admiringly of the “red and white” on the channel of the Serbian team.

“Olympiacos is rightfully first in the Euroleague. He plays amazing basketball, plays as a team and doesn’t depend on one player. They have fantastic pace in attack, they play with patience and many of their attacks come in the last seconds patiently looking for a free kick. In defense they play with changes, even with Fal. We will have to be ready to deal with their defense. From there they mainly secure their advantage and then have an open field. They have many players who can play at a high tempo and provide easy points“, emphasized the nine-time European champion.

Partizan is on track for the playoffs, but has a difficult schedule ahead of it against Barcelona and Real at home, Monaco away and Panathinaikos in Belgrade. “We face in the last matches the teams that are ahead of us in the standings, plus Panathinaikos who will not be an easier opponent and remains a great team“, said “Zots”.

At the same time, Obradovic did not hesitate to… admonish the Partizan fans who deviate in several matches. “They need to understand how important respect is for the opponent, the opposing players and the fans of the opposing team. I would like this to always happen in our games. I understand the passion of our fans, but I kindly ask them not to throw objects or swear at anyone. To make the atmosphere in our stadium the best in Europe in all respects. In terms of support and atmosphere, we are already the best, but let’s take the next step, so that all of Europe talks not only about the atmosphere, but also about the respect we show to the opponent and to every guest in our stadium“, write down.
