Željko Obradović: We showcased great defense with 15 steals

During the post-match press conference, Željko Obradović, head coach of Partizan Mozzart Bet, reflected on the impressive victory against Maccabi Tel Aviv (98-75). Obradović highlighted his team’s defensive performance and the importance of recovering injured players.

“Playing a good game against Maccabi, a team that hasn’t played in Israel for two seasons, is an important result. We showcased great defense with 15 steals.”

“Motivation is crucial. We had two good practices on January 1 and 2. Now I will give the players a day off because a challenging schedule awaits us with games against Panathinaikos, Čačak, Asvel, and Olimpija.”

“Vanja is improving, but he still can’t train. Mitar is expected to start training next week.”
