The squad of Bar is expected to be completed until the end of the week, although Nemanja Vranješ will join the rest of the squad in a few months time due to the rehabilitation, which he needs to undergo due to the heavy injury and the surgery that followed. However, the Mornar sniper has showed up at the first practice to greet his teammates anyway.
“The team is changed both in formation and every other aspect. It will play a different style of basketball than the past ones and we will need to play in both directions and there will be no closing of eyes on some occasions so that it would be tolerated if one puts in effort only on the offensive end. That’s how we have composed this team and entered a new project. I believe that we would enjoy this kind of basketball,” Mihailo Pavićević, Mornar tactician told at his team’s first gathering.
He added that he expects of his teammates only one thing – to be able to congratulate them after each game or practice for giving every atom of energy they own: “That’s the best compliment that you can get. Will we play well or badly… those things will happen, good or bad moments, good and bad games, but one should know that you cannot play a bad game in case you give your maximum effort. When I recognize that you played that way, I will never tell you that you played poorly.”
The key of the club will be to create a good atmosphere in the team. “The ones that used to play in this club before know, that we are building a family atmosphere, that our goal is to help each other on court. That’s when you play and lose, nobody is sorry. That’s what will be our characteristic this season. And for the end, I can promise – nobody will like playing against us! You will see how it would look like,” Pavićević added.

Prvi trening Mornara pred početak nove sezone
Košarkaši Mornara počeli su jutros pripreme za novu sezonu prozivkom na kojoj nije bilo novajlija iz Amerike Korija Dejvisa i Treja Luisa, kao ni njihovog zemljaka Tejlora Smita, ali ni Vladimira Mihajlovića i Milije Mikovića koji je na pripremama reprezentacije.
Kompletiranje ekipe očekuje se do kraja nedjelje s tim što će se na priključenje Nemanje Vranješa pričekati još koji mjesec zbog rehabilitacije koju mora da prođe nakon teške povrede i operacije koja je uslijedila. „Snajperista“ Mornara, ipak, nije propustio priliku da se pojavi na prozivci.
„Ekipa je promijenjena, formacijski i u svakom smislu. Ova će igrati drugačiju košarku od prethodnih, svi ćemo morati da igramo u oba pravca, neće biti zatvaranja očiju na neke situacije pa da neko igra maksimalno samo u napadu. Tako smo koncipirali ovaj tim, ušli u jedan novi projekat i mislim da ćemo uživati u takvoj igri“, poručio je u pozdravnom govoru šef struke Mihailo Pavićević.
On je dodao da od igrača očekuje samo jedno: da im nakon meča ili treninga čestita na tome što su dali sve od sebe.
„To je najveća pohvala koju možete da dobijete. Hoćemo li nekad odigrati dobro ili slabo… biće toga, i dobrih i loših trenutaka, i dobrih i loših utakmica ali da znate da loš meč ne možete da odigrate ako date sve od sebe. Kad prepoznam da ste tako prišli utakmici, nikad vam neću reći da ste odigrali loše“.
Pavićević je naglasio da će prioritet biti da se napravi dobra atmosfera u ekipi.
"Oni koji su već igrali u ovom klubu znaju to, da gradimo familijarnu atmosferu, da nam je cilj da izgaramo na terenu i pomažemo jedan drugom. Tako kad se igra i izgubi se utakmica, nikom nije žao. To će nas krasiti ove godine. I za kraj, jedno vam mogu obećati - niko neće voljeti da igra protiv nas! Vidjećete kako će to izgledati. Upamtite – niko neće voljeti da igra protiv nas!“, zaključio je Pavićević.
