Pander: “I listened to my heart and stayed – Real Madrid were finished”

THE Kevin Pander revealed to Mozzart Sport how difficult days he went through until he decided to stay in Partisan putting emotion first.

“For 4-5 days I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat. I had lost my appetite from anxiety. I wanted to make the best decision. My phone kept ringing. Every ten minutes I was picked up, I heard offers, talked and thousands of things went through my mind. I finally listened to my heart. I remember texting my agent and he immediately got back to me and asked me if I was sure. That’s how it all ended and I stayed at Partizan“, emphasized the American guard who was close to Barcelona and Panathinaikos.

At the same time, he showed that he has not yet overcome the exclusion from Real Madrid in the Euroleague playoffs. “If that episode had not broken out in the second leg and there had been no suspensions, we would have definitely been in the Final 4. Real were finished, we had beaten them. Even some of her players sent me messages and said they had no hope. I don’t want to say who they were. This is in the past and we must not go back. We go into a new season, with the same goals. We want to win all the games“, he said.
