PRESS ROOM – Statements from coach Zeljko Obradovic and coach Luca Banchi in the post-game of Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade-Segafredo Virtus Bologna 69-70, a match valid for the 5th round of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague 2024/25.

PARTIZAN BELGRADE

Coach Željko Obradović: “A lot happened in the last quarter,” the Serbian coach began at the press conference. “We had a rebounding issue because Virtus got 15 offensive rebounds. That’s a problem, and we will work on it. The important thing is to show effort, defend, and fight. In the fourth period, we were slow on offense. There were also situations where we played well, but people will always look at the last defense and the last offense,” he continued while analyzing the loss. “Jones? He’s in pain. Tomorrow we’ll do tests and see how it goes.”

“Certainly, Vanja Marinkovic’s shot is a consequence of the fact that he scored earlier; the player has confidence, and it’s not a wrong shot to take. In the last possession, there were two pretty obvious contacts on Iffe Lundberg.”

Coach Luca Banchi: “We come away with the victory and the awareness that we have the desire to play a basketball that showcases our characteristics. We need to get the best out of everyone. We defended correctly, lowering their shooting percentages and contesting their closeouts. We rebounded well, even against Tyrique Jones. Offensively, we made mistakes at the end; if we had lost, there would have been blame, but when you expend so much effort, staying clear-headed isn’t easy. We stuck to the game plan and played with personality and determination. Not always with precision and clarity, but those will follow in upcoming games.”

To EuroLeague tv: “No, it’s not easier now that we’ve won a game. The EuroLeague is like that: all games are as difficult as this one. Thank God we won a game in crucial moments in one of the toughest arenas in Europe. When we build our winning defense, we achieve stops collectively, utilizing the effort we put in tonight. I believe these are the reasons the guys deserved this victory.”
