RATKOVICA: “CRVENA ZVEZDA IS HIGH QUALITY AND EXPERIENCED TEAM, WE HAVE TO BE AT OUR HIGHEST LEVEL”

On Saturday, December 15, at 7 pm in Sremska Mitrovica, Mega Bemax will continue to compete in the ABA League, when they will host the current leader of the regional competition, Crvena zvezda mts. Players of Dejan Milojevic will play in the special holiday uniforms in the match against the Crvena zvezda mts and it is certain that the audience in the PSC Pinki hall in Sremska Mitrovica is expecting an interesting match. Coach of Mega at the match against Crvena zvezda will not be able to count on Kostja Mushidi.

The tickets for the match are already on sale at a price of 400 dinars for the stands and can be purchased at the Pinki café within the hall from 8 am to 9 pm as well at the box office on the game day from 4 pm.

Coach of Mega Bemax Dejan Milojević pointed out before the match with Crvena zvezda that the team must be concentrated throughout the whole course of the match:

– After a match in Podgorica, where we were short of making a big surprise, we are now hosting Crvena zvezda mts in Sremska Mitrovica, which this season does not yet know about defeat in the ABA league. With our recognizable aggressive defense and good energy on the floor, we need to be concentrated throughout the whole course of the match, because otherwise Zvezda will be able to punish our falls in the game. “Crveno-beli” are certainly favorites, and the match on Saturday will be a good opportunity to show where we are in relation to the best teams in the league, and if we are given a chance to surprise, I hope that we will succeed in taking advantage of it,

Milojevic said.

After 10 rounds of the ABA league, Mega Bemax is 3rd with score 7-3, while Crvena Zvezda mts is the first without a defeat. In the last match betweent the two teams in the regional competition in the 13th round of last season, Crvena Zvezda celebrated in Sremska Mitrovica with 85:90.

The captain of Mega Bemax, Branislav Ratkovica, pointed out that the team must be at the highest level in the match against Crvena zvezda:

– We play against a very high quality team that has not yet been defeated this year in the ABA league. They have at least two experienced and quality players in each position. We have to play at the highest level in the defense and the attack to get in the situation to fight for victory. I invite the audience in Sremska Mitrovica to come in big numbers  to the game and we will do our best to give that back on the court,

Ratkovica said.

And on this match will be continued with the Mega Experience project where guests of the club in the matches are young and talented children of Sremska Mitrovica. In the halftime, short 3×3 basket games will be organized in which students from the fifth to the eighth grade from Primary schools in Sremska Mitrovica will play, while in the breaks between the quarters we expect half-court shots for TV, a gift from company Tehnomanija.
