Coach Dusko Ivanovic, 67 years old

ISTANBUL (Türkiye)Although victory was a highly unlikely outcome, at the end of the race Dusko Ivanovich focuses on the things that didn't work, pointing them out as areas on which the Virtus must work to continue to grow. "Congratulations to the for Fenerbahce who deserved this victory – explains the coach of the Black V –. In the first half we had problems with turnovers, in the second half our defense It wasn't good at all and Fenerbahce had an excellent three-point shooting percentage, this was an important aspect and that made the difference on this occasion."

Even tomorrow against Venice the Montenegrin coach will not have at his disposal either Ante Zizic nor Will Clyburn, while we wait for news from Justin Holiday who is facing the process of obtaining a work visa and being able to be registered. The American winger will also not be in the match that will be played at Segafredo Arena, but the fact that the club has moved to sign a top-level player, despite his age and the fact that he has been sidelined since May, gives the idea that they want to try to open the trophy cabinet this season too.

The important moral of this story is that Ivanovic asked for a player and a player will come, of course if he had known from the beginning that he had to draw from top-level names, he probably would not have wasted time with other candidates.
