MEGA DECIMATED AGAINST PARTIZAN FOR THE END OF 2021
On Monday, December 27, at 9 pm in Stark Arena, Mega Mozzart will play against Partizan NIS in the 13th round of the ABA League, but they will be decimated in that match by the absence of five players, as well as head coach Vladimir Jovanovic dat due to the positive Covid-19 test, he will not be able to lead the team. For these reasons, two juniors were registered, Ahmet Jonovic (2003) and Andrej Musicki (2005), who will be part of Mega in the game on Monday.
In the match against Partizan, Mega will be led from the bench by Assistant coach Vule Avdalovic, who pointed out that Mega is entering the match with the goal of giving their maximum:
– A difficult match against Partizan on their field awaits us. They have shown good games in both competitions so far, they have a full roster, they are filled in every position with quality players and they are one of the favorites to win the ABA league. They have a coach who is the most successful European coach of all time and with whose signature Partizan has shown that it has the highest goals this season. We are entering the match with the goal of playing a quality match and giving our maximum at the moment, having in mind the absences we have. One of our main tasks will be to respond to their aggressiveness with the best possible solutions. We have faith in our work and I think we have a good opportunity to show quality,
said Avdalovic.
Mega Mozzart has five wins and seven defeats before match against Partizan, while Partizan has recorded ten wins and two defeats in ABA League.

Before the match against Partizan, Mega’s winger Nikola Jovic pointed out that his team has shown that it can cope with the strongest opponents:
– It is certain that a very difficult and demanding match awaits us. Partizan is a team that has only two defeats in the ABA league this year, they are also at the top in the Eurocup. It is very difficult to get them in front of their fans, but I also think that we have shown that we can deal with the strongest opponents. Although the big question is what kind of roster we will be in due to absences, it is up to us to keep concentration and strength in defense throughout the game, and we will see fort what that will be enough for in the end.
Jovic said.
