CARAPIC: “WE ARE READY FOR THE START OF SUPERLEAGUE”

Mega Bemax basketball players will start a competition in Super League on Wednesday, when they will meet Tamis in Mega Factory Hall in Belgrade within the 1st round of competition. Mega will play Superleague this season in their hall located in Brace Jerkovic 119a and it will be an opportunity for basketball fans from Belgrade to see matches of the club.

The entrance to the match will be free, but due to the limited capacity of the hall, the tickets will be needed through the club’s office, as well as at the entrance to the hall on the day of the game from 17:00, if there are available free tickets. Also, for the viewers in the Mega Factory Hall, there will be several surprises.

Mega Bemax will play Superliga in the following composition: Ognjen Carapic (captain), Kostja Mushidi, Novak Music, Andrija Marjanovic, Luka Asceric, Ognjen Jaramaz, Goga Bitadze, Mihailo Jovicic, Aleksandar Lazic, Milos Koprivica, Predrag Samardziski, Nikola Miskovic, Luka Cerovina and Stefan Fundic.

Coach of Mega Bemax Dejan Milojevic at the start of the Super League will not be able to count on four players who are still recovering from injuries, including Ognjen Jaramaz, Kostja Mushidi, Stefan Fundic and Mihailo Jovicic.

Coach Mega Bemax said he was pleased how the team worked during the preparation period before the start of Super league:

– We took a break until the start of the Super league to prepare ourselves as much as possible for the challenges that await us. We have changed the roster a lot comparing to ABA league, we will have even a younger team compared to this competition, but I am pleased that we have worked well in the previous period. Several players are still recovering from injuries (Mushidi, Jaramaz, Fundic and Jovicic), but I believe that if we impose our rhythm with aggressive defense, we will win against Tamis, and thus in the right way start the competition in Super league,

Milojevic said.

Mega Bemax and Tamis have so far met 8 times in the domestic competition with 7 wins for Mega. In the group A of Super league, next to Mega Bemax and Tamis, will also play Crvena zvezda mts, Mladost, Borac and Zlatibor.

Mega Bemax captain Ognjen Čarapić says he believes the team is ready to start the Superliga start:

– We have done very well the previous 40 days since the end of the ABA League. We played several control games and I believe that we are fully prepared for the start of Super league. It is necessary to enter into the match with Tamis concentrated from the start and with a smart game in both directions, I believe that we will justify the role of the favorite and triumph to the match,

said Carapic.
