Overview

Dejan Radonjic, Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade

“First of all, it is an important win for us, after so many problems, and especially with the schedule we had in the last two weeks. We played good, it’s important to play good and we did it. It’s clear that the win is always important, but for me as a coach, it's even more important how we played this game, both offensively and defensively. Congratulations to my players.”

Dimitris Priftis, Panathinaikos OPAP Athens

“It was a bad night, maybe the worst so far for us. It’s very embarrassing what we did, the way we played tonight. There are a lot of things I can say but I prefer to talk to my team first. Congratulations to Red Star. The tempo of the game was very high and the combination with the atmosphere made it difficult to play and to compete for us.”

Nate Wolters, Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade

“We needed [something like] this badly. It’s been rough stress over the last couple of weeks and getting a home game, then playing like we played tonight, we got to do that. Playing like this defensively every night gives a chance to win, but we really needed this one bad. The fans are great, and we finally hit some shots, which helps. We played with this energy; we have to keep doing that and that will give us a chance to win every game.”

Ognjen Kuzmic, Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade

“It was a very important game for us. We played great, we finally started to make some shots in front of our crowd, so it was very important for us. The fans were amazing, like always at home. I feel good, and of course, in front of our fans it always gives us more energy.”
