Alimpijević: „Fans, we need you more than ever“

Crvena zvezda mts will host Mornar in Game 1 of the 2018 ABA Semi-Finals, while team head coach Dušan Alimpijević called the fans of the red & whites to fill the gym to the last place on Sunday evening.

„From the start of the season we are saying that winning the ABA League is our primary goal. Our first task was to secure home-court advantage in the Playoffs, and we have fought hard to make it happen. You all know how much the home-court advantage is  important to us and that is why I call our fans to fill the gym to the last place on Sunday evening and support us in this crucial moment. The new thing is that Nemanja Dangubić has probably finished the season due to knee injury. That’s another reason why we need fans’ support in the upcoming games, as we can only fulfill our goal if we are together. I deeply respect Mornar and their head coach. They had an outstanding season and they absolutely deserved to qualify for the Playoffs. Still, we are playing at home and we want to show to everyone how big thing it is for us,“ said Alimpijević.

Alimpijević: “Navijači, potrebni ste nam”

Košarkaši Crvene zvezde mts dočekuju ekipu Mornara u prvom meču plejofa ABA lige. Trener crveno-belih Dušan Alimpijević pozvao je navijače da u nedelju ispune dvoranu ‘’Aleksandar Nikolić’’.

Dušan Alimpijević, trener Crvene zvezde mts:

„Od starta sezone govorimo šta je naš primarni cilj i došli smo do finiša tog dela zadatka. Prvi deo je bio da obezbedimo prednost domaćeg terena, a sada glavni deo sezone je upravo početak plejofa. Baš zato što smo se borili za domaći teren, moram da pozovem sve navijače da dođu na utakmicu da nas podrže, jer mnogo puta smo ove sezone videli koliko nam znači taj vetar u leđa i publika na našem terenu. Nova situacija je da je Nemanja Dangubić najverovatnije završio sezonu. To je još jedan razlog da dobijemo podršku i krenemo u nastavak ovog takmičenja i da zajedničkim snagama izguramo primarni cilj. Vrlo poštujem Mornar i trenera, naravno. Imaju sjajnu sezonu iza sebe, vrlo dobre partije iza sebe na svim frontovima. Apsolutno zasluženo su na tom mestu, jako dobro igraju. Igramo kod kuće i želimo da pokažemo da smo mi u svojoj kući i da igramo pred svojim navijačima.“
