You have reached the ABA League Finals, which is a historical achievement for your team. What is in your opinion the key reason for us to be where you are?
"We were hoping in such an outcome and believed in it and that"s why we succeeded. We did not give up despite all the problems. We just did not give up and that is the reason why we have reached the Finals.”
How important is for you the fact that there is no pressure upon you before the big season finale?
"Of course the fact that there is no pressure upon us, can only help our team. We all agree that Crvena zvezda Telekom are a better team with a much higher number of tough games played this season than us. They have excellent results in the Euroleague as well. It will be difficult to battle against them and they are the clear favourites. However, we have our chances as well and will give our best to achieve three victories.”
You have agreed that you will take the underdog role in this game. Where do you see the main difference between the two teams right now?
"Crvena zvezda Telekom has the advantage because of the depth of their team. We have less players on our rotation than they do. We also have lots of injury problems. This is a thing that we expect to cause us lots of problems. On the other side, Zvezda have a team for three competitions. They have longer bench and this is their advantage. But again I must stress that we have our chances in the Finals as well.”
