Mega Bemax coach Dejan Milojevic pointed out that a match against Cibona could be crucial for survival in the ABA League:

– On Friday, we may also play a key match in the fight for survival in the ABA League when we will play away against Cibona. Certainly the match is extremely important for both teams, they are in a better position than us, but they will certainly do their best to ensure survival as soon as possible. An extremely difficult match awaits us and it is very important that we get into it as ready and concentrated. We have problems with absences, there is also a new player, and it is up to us to put it all in place We must not be relaxed on the pitch for a moment because it has already cost us some victories this season. Whatever the result at the scoreboard is during the game, our energy must be at the highest level. I believe in my team and that we will return from Zagreb with a triumph that would probably be crucial in the fight for survival in the ABA League,

said Milojevic.
