A few days before the Euroleague Final Four in Abu Dhabi, Tariq Bibrovic Hosted at Euroleague & Friends Podcast and talked about her goals and ambitions Fenerbahce in the event.
The 24 -year -old forward expressed his view that his team is better than Panathinaicwhich he will face in the semifinals of the institution, while in terms of the other game, he said that Monaco would be the one to get the ticket to the final against the final against Olympic.
In detail what he said:
For his racing form: “I hope I will continue to make a career record in scoring in the next two games, in the semifinals and then in the final. Out of 21 to 22 points and from 22 to 23. If possible. Otherwise I just want to win. “
For the feeling that he has been in Turkey for seven years: “Constantinople is my home now. My friends have become my family. All the shots I make for my life are adapted to Constantinople. All the investments I make concern Turkey. I feel at home and try to represent my home in the best possible way. The best way to do this is to make the best version of myself as a man and as a basketball player of Fenerbahce. “
About how much he wants to see himself in festive photos on the walls of Ulker Sports Arena, as the 2017 team did by winning Euroleague: “I can’t describe how much I want that. I remember when I was 17 years old, in the summer of 2017, when I first came here to Turkey. I was in a Fenerbahce preparation camp, because they had given all their players to national Turkey and didn’t have enough athletes, so they took me. So I came to Fener. Then I saw all these photos and videos. Even 2-3 months after the conquest of Euroleague there was the same energy everywhere. It was a huge thing. I want to live this too. And I think we’ll do it this year. Because Fener’s fans are amazing. “
On how they overcame injuries and the team’s mentality: “It is due to the coaching staff. We are all harmonized and when someone is injured, the next one takes a step forward. We had 2-3 such examples this year. But I also have to congratulate Guduric for having been here for 7-8 years and the last 3-4 is trying to become a leader. This year he did. Because as you know, after a few defeats, camps are created in a group. It’s normal. Human. Happens in basketball. And Guduric helped us stay united in such situations. I also helped as I could. And thanks to this we were united. And thanks to our coaches. ”
For his role: “He grew up since the Coach Sarah came to Fener. He gave me the opportunity and I started to show who I really am. I think I still haven’t caught my ceiling. I’m at 60%. There are many things I need to improve, such as going more on the racket, getting more distance shots or creating for others. And they come through training obviously, but even more so with confidence and spiritual preparation. I win with Yasikevicius, it helps me a lot in these pieces. ”
For who he will have with him in Abu Dhabi: “My closest people, my friends. My family unfortunately will not come. The reason why they do not want to come is because if they come, I will think of them and my dad is very very strict guy. Classic Balkan. Always angry. He doesn’t want to be there because then he will say ‘we came and you had your mind to us, you didn’t play well, you forgot to do this’ and then he will blame himself if I do something unexpected. ”
For the semifinals with Panathinaikos: “There is a saying in Turkey that says ‘you will achieve the third time’. Last year we played against them in the semifinals and – in our surprise – they came into the game very aggressively. As you know Panathinaikos is famous for his attack, not for his defense. But last year they were very aggressive in defense and surprised us. We made more mistakes than usual, so they got a difference. The same thing happened in the fourth period.
So now we will go more ready, with this experience. And I think we’re a better team, because in the season we got to know each other well and we know who can do what. Everyone knows their roles and where to focus their energy. In such games the most important thing is energy and 50-50 balls. You pay attention to the small details, not to rush and manage the pressure. At this point in the season you can’t improve anything, so the spiritual one counts more than physical preparation. ”
For Olympiacos semifinal with Monaco: “I think Monaco will win. It has better units. And at some point they will start playing with changes, Olympiacos doesn’t have so many players to play one against one. ”
