The Argentine, formerly of Crvena Zvezda and Olympiacos, spoke to the club\u2019s official TV channel and addressed his move to Belgrade, a decision that attracted plenty of attention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Vildoza said he is <strong>happy and excited about the new season<\/strong>, praising the welcome he has received from the club and his relationship with the coaching staff. He also explained that being in Belgrade was important for his family, allowing his son to stay close to his wife\u2019s relatives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">On the court, Vildoza knows there is still plenty of work to do. With a large roster and a new system to adapt to, Partizan will need time to build chemistry ahead of the EuroLeague season. However, the Argentine believes the team has enough quality and talent to achieve important results if the players find the right balance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">He also discussed Joan Penarroya\u2019s system and the possibility of playing with two point guards. Vildoza said he feels comfortable in that setup, as another ball-handler allows him to play more often off the ball. He is particularly looking forward to sharing the court with Carlik Jones and Sterling Brown, while praising the work he has done with his new teammates so far.<\/p>\n<p>Vildoza also addressed the reaction from Partizan fans. He admitted seeing some of the messages and images circulating online, but deleted everything and stopped receiving notifications as a way of dealing with the pressure surrounding his decision. \u201cI\u2019m here to work, represent the team in the best possible way, be with my family and enjoy my son,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Argentine guard introduces himself to Partizan fans and discusses the team, Penarroya and playing alongside another point guard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":174,"featured_media":487717,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[191,199,297],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-512337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aba-liga","category-euroleague","category-serbia"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/Luca-Vildoza-.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/512337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/174"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=512337"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/512337\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/487717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=512337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=512337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=512337"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=512337"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=512337"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=512337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
