EXCHANGE OF OPINIONS

Zoran Planinic:

– We are in a tough situation in Euroleague right now: we have to win at least three games to qualify for TOP-16. Our first aim is to win the game with Partizan. It is especially important for us because we lost in Belgrade in the last seconds, but had a good chance to win. Now we will play at our home court, we have injured players back, I’m sure everyone will do everything to win this game because we have to do it and the loss will make us out of the tournament. It will be not easy. We have to play more aggressively. Partizan plays the same model of a game throughout last 6-7 years: they play tough, aggressively, fight, and will try to act well in defense. I think everyone in Partizan’s roster is a hard rival. We’ll try to meet them fully armed.
