MILOJEVIC: “I AM PROUD OF ALL MY PLAYERS”

Mega Leks in a fantastic ambience of hall PSC Pinki in Sremska Mitrovica won against FMP with 81:73 and thus secured a place in the ABA league next season. A nice game in the victory provided Rade Zagorac, who was present everywhere on the field with 15 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks for PIR 34.

Captain of Mega Leks pointed out that the team again showed great character:

“Congratulations to FMP on real men fight. I have to admit that at the beginning of the series we did not expect it would be this hard. But they denied us rightly, because FMP is a team with lots of quality players, a great leader. As for our team, this season is definitely the best so far in careers of all of us, really fantastic. In this match we also showed great character and I am very sorry that will inevitably leave some players, and I’m very pleased that I was a member of this team” ,

Zagorac said.

Coach of Mega Leks Dejan Milojevic said he is proud of the players:

“The way we came to win this best describes my condition now, because I look like I was in the shower. I was so sweaty and it tells us how much the team struggled to beat FMP. I have consideration a whole season, and before this match I spoke and warned my players that this is a very good quality opponent. My colleague is doing a great job, they are fully motivated, every game they had more offensive rebounds than us. Whenever we had a fifteen-point lead they returned it and it can only be an extremely strong character and good team. If we enter in tactics, I have to admit that my colleagues made me change my defense, customize transition, introduce two or three new motions. We just had to adapt from game to game. In the end we achieved our goal and I’m very pleased about that. And before this crucial match to Sloba Klipa I said that I think is a great pity that one team will not play ABA league. I hope that there is enough awareness that the FMP plays ABA leagu, to let us in the regional league to have four teams, because I think that Serbia has the quality and deserves four representatives. FMP deserves to play ABA league and I urge you not shorten the league. This is my appeal but I do not know whether it will bear fruit, but I really think that’s fair, because the FMP and my colleague Klipa deserved it. Another thing I want to point out and that is that I’m proud of all my players. It was enjoying to watch them grow and thrive, and I am sure that this season I will probably be one of the best in my career. I thank them from my heart to everyone”,

finished Milojevic.
