Željko Obradović congratulated his players for their “incredible comeback and motivation in the second half” against Maccabi, as Partizan “erased” the 24-point difference between Maccabi and ended up winning 88:79. Obradović wanted to highlight Jaramaz for the defense, Douzer and Naneli for the attack, and Trifunović and Smailagić for their energy despite the fact that they have injuries, and then spoke very emotionally about his team.
“Partizan does not have the mentality of a winner? I respect everyone’s opinion, but of course it has nothing to do with the truth. I am not attached to it. With all due respect, I neither listen to it nor am I interested. I do not enter into any commentary on the match, especially social ones networks. I’m not interested in that. I have my job and I do it, I do my best. is it enough or not”said Obradović.
“JI had a conversation with the players, we watched the most important parts of the match from Istanbul, we showed the good and bad things, I told them that here is an opportunity for them to improve – both as a player and as a person. I told them that it was also an opportunity for me to progress as a person. I’m not someone who knows everything, and I learn, I learn by watching matches with the coaching staff for four hours. They did a great job and I got great information, I told them to do the right thing. A head coach without dedicated assistants doesn’t stand a chance. Everything I did was thanks to the coaching staff. There will be ups and downs, but let’s try to be better every day. I told them that I love them very much. It’s true. They are my players, no matter how annoyed I seem, I make corrections, they know I love them“, emphasized Obradović, who was then asked about his team’s “bad game”.
“Well, now I’m going to cry!” Obradović raised his voice: Who thinks that Partizan won happily?

That’s why Obradović answered ironically at first, and then he stood up for his basketball players and said that he absolutely trusts his players and therefore defends them:
“Now I’m going to go cry after the victory, how badly we played. Is this the answer you expect? I really don’t understand some things. After a game like this, where people died, that we played too smart in attack, you that’s what you’re asking? I told them that they made me proud, there’s nothing more to add. You’re the only person who thinks that Partizan was lucky to win tonight? Feel free to say, maybe I don’t understand?”“Žoc” questioned the journalists present.
He then explained that “it was only his decision that Vukčević and Andušić did not play”, while he said that Partizan is now facing a difficult period: “We have 13 more games, we have to play like this on the sidelines, so we have a lot of hard work ahead of us, but… I guess when you have a challenge, you have to give your best.” emphasized the coach of Partizan.
“Well, now I’m going to cry!” Obradović raised his voice: Who thinks that Partizan won happily?
