JOVANOVIC: “CONGRATULATIONS TO MY GUYS, IT WAS A GOOD GAME”

Mega Soccerbet advanced to the semifinals of the Triglav osiguranje “Radivoj Korac” Cup after convincingly defeating Mladost Zemun with 93:69 (31:14, 25:28, 20:14, 17:13). Coach Vladimir Jovanovic’s team started the match well in the small hall SPENS in Novi Sad, where they had a plus 17 after the first quarter, and they definitely resolved the match with a series of 16:1 in the last quarter and finally reached a convincing triumph and advancement to the semifinals where they will play against the better from the duel FMP – Vojvodina on Saturday at 18:30.

At the press conference after the match, Mega’s coach Vladimir Jovanovic pointed out that his team reacted in the third quarter when they separated to a convincing difference:

– I mentioned that as far as we are concerned, the Cup is a very important competition, regardless of the fact that there is no passage to the European Cups. My team and the club take all this very seriously and we came, like other teams, to try to record the best possible result. I think that the game was good, that after that first quarter in the second section we allowed the opponent a large number of points, which was not good, as well as the start of the third section where they managed to get six points behind with an aggressive defense. However, we made a reaction, primarily in defense, we raised the percentage of shots by three points and we separated by a safe difference. Congratulations to the Mladost not only on this match, but on everything they have provided so far in both competitions, in KLS and ABA 2, and I also congratulate my guys. We are moving on, tomorrow is a break and we are waiting for the rival in the semifinals.

When asked who he expects in the semifinals, Vladimir Jovanovic pointed out that he never deals with forecasts and that he certainly expects a good match:

– I never deal with forecasts, every team that will be our rival on Saturday will do their best to enter the finals. I am sure that we will have a real opponent and that the match will be good. I expect my team to approach this match with a great deal of motivation and to make a good result with good energy. We will see what the result will be. I just hope for our good approach,

said coach of Mega.
