JOVANOVIC: “CONGRATULATIONS TO MY PLAYERS AND COACHING STAFF ON GREAT GAME”

A great match and an incredible finish in the Hall of sports Ranko Zeravica, in which Mega Soccerbet, after minus 15 in the third quarter, came to a great victory against Mornar in the last second by lay-up of Smith, 90:89 (25:24, 14:27, 22:16, 29:22). In the match that was played without the presence of the audience in the Hall of sports Ranko Zeravica, the players of coach Vladimir Jovanović did not give up at any moment and in the end they came to a well-deserved victory in an incredible way.

Mega’s coach Vladimir Jovanovic, who only recently emerged from the Covid-19 virus infection, at the press conference pointed out a big congratulation to the players and the coaching staff of Mega on everything done in the previous 15 days of his absence:

– We knew when we were playing and in the preview of the match we mentioned that this is a team that has achieved ambitions, participates in the Top 16 phase of the Eurocup and has a team that is very respectable and has excellent results on two fronts. Also, in the meantime, they strengthened very well by bringing Gordic and Hamilton. They didn’t, nor could they surprise us with a good game. They have an extremely attacking style of play, with a lot of shots for three points and that proved to be a problem in the first half. I couldn’t say that we played a bad defense, but every drop in our concentration was punished, first of all by Jeremic. Nevertheless, we managed to maintain the connection, we changed the character and approach in defense and we believed that we could reach a turning point. Regardless of their excellent performance in the attack, we kept the difference at nine to five points, which gave us hope that we could win, which we did. I have to congratulate Mornar on the part of the season so far and wish them luck in the future. Also, since I was absent for 15 days due to the COVID-19 virus, I want to thank the guys for a great game, because they believed in the triumph of all 40 minutes, and they are the most deserving of this result. I really have to praise my entire coaching staff, my assistants Zlatanović, Vagic, Pejic, Fitness coach Sekulic, General manager Cakic, physiotherapists and doctors who did a great job during my absence, which resulted in our victory,

said Jovanovic.
