ABA TV: Dragićević – “I promise that we will give our best effort to win”

In the interview for the ABA League TV, Tadija Dragićević of Budućnost VOLI admitted that he is disappointed both about his performance and the performance of his team at the first Semi-final game, but added that his team will do their best in order to tie the series to 1:1 in Sremska Mitrovica.

You have lost the first game of the Playoffs at home. How did you see this game?

"The defeat is really a huge blow for us. They played truly well throughout the game. They scored some important shots, especially at the end. Even we had the chance to win. It was one or two balls that decided in the end. It is good that we have enough time to prepare ourselves for the next game and to win in it on the road.”

You simply could not find a solution for their pick and pop game.

"That is correct. They played an unusual system. Their player at position 3 actually played at position 4 as well and the player at position 4 actually played at the position 5 as well. They played a lot of 1 on 1 game with a pick in the middle. This created us lots of problems. We looked exhausted and did not play the way we used to during the regular season. Unfortunately, it happened to us in the most important game of the season so far for us. I wish that everyone supports us, since we are the ones that care about it the most. I promise in the name of all the players on the team that we will give our best in order to win the next game.”

Did you expect more from yourself personally?
