JOVANOVIC: “WE TOOK SPLIT SERIOUSLY, THIS IS HOW WE SHOULD PLAY REGARDLESS OF THE OPPONENT”

Another great game of the Mega Soccerbet in which Split was convincingly defeated with 91:75 (29:22, 11:11, 21:11, 30:31) within the game of the 9th round of the ABA league, which was played without the presence of spectators in the Hall of Sports Ranko Zeravica.

After the fourth victory in a row and the seventh overall in the regional competition, Mega’s coach Vladimir Jovanovic had a lot of reasons for satisfaction at the press conference after the match:

– I must say that we took Split really seriously, because my opinion is that Split is playing very well in the ABA, but also in the Croatian league. They play great in the middle of the field and are covered in all positions, with three high centers and they were a real challenge for us. From the beginning of the match, we had a clear idea and tried to raise the rhythm of the match, which suits us better, because we could not match them in tactical solutions in the middle of the field. We had a good defense at the pick and we used running to the maximum in the attack, which gave us an advantage. I have to be satisfied with the number of assists, we shared the ball well, we were selfless again and when you make 26 assists you are close to victory. Congratulations once again to Split on good games so far this season, but also to my guys on the victory. This match should be a recipe for how we should play and look regardless of the opponent and the result,

said coach of Mega.
