Budućnost VOLI: "The Playoffs and the regular season are two different things"

Ilias Zouros, Budućnost VOLI head coach:

"Congratulations to Crvena zvezda mts for making a great record in the ABA League. Congratulations for scoring that big win in Milano last week and for having an outstanding season in Euroleague. So, they did a very good job and congratulations to coach Radonjić, because they are not working hard only this year, but for many years, and that is the key for success for everything. They have a base of good players and continuity. Speaking about the following semi-finals series I would like to say that the Playoffs and the regular season are two totally different stories. Only one team will go to the finals. We respect very much Crvena zvezda mts, we know that they play very good, but we will give everything to be strong opponents to them, because we believe that we can fight until the end. Whenever you go on the court you need to try winning the game."

Suad Šehović, Budućnost VOLI player:

"We have reached the moment we have been preparing for during the entire season. In front of us is a team that does need any special introduction. Crvena zvezda is the best team in the league and one of the best teams in Europe, while our duty and obligation is to make the clash against such an opponent interesting. We will try to fix all those mistakes we made in the previous game and to keep the good things from that match and to face a strong team of Crvena zvezda in the best possible way."
