Future in Italy, Mijović: This team deserves the Top 16 stage

Buducnost Volija basketball players returned to the competition last night, after a 20-day break due to the coronavirus epidemic.

As a result - the comeback was unsuccessful, they were defeated by Unicaja in the sixth match of group B of the Eurocup 90:66, but it was completely expected, considering everything that happened in the past period.

A new duel awaits them already tomorrow – with Brescia in Italy (18.45:XNUMX), again on the European stage.

"The match is coming in stormy weather, and we have to come out ready to play much better than against Unicaja. We want to be in the match as long as possible, with the same problems. We will again be missing a significant number of players, but unfortunately we do not have time or conditions for training in full squad," said coach Petar Mijović.

Even with two matches less than Ulm and Mornar, the "blues" from Podgorica are in third place, which leads to the Top 16 stage, with a score of 3-3.

"This team deserves the Top 16 stage and in every next game we will look for a chance to pass. One such opportunity is Breša and we will try to grab it," said Mijović.

Last night, Breša slowed down Mornara on their way to the second stage, winning at home 77:75.

The Italian team, with a score of 2-5, has not yet given up the fight.

"Future is a team similar to Mornar. They have two very talented defenders, Ivanovic and Kobs, who have a lot of points in their hands, there is Edzim who can play in positions 3 and 4. In addition, they have several 'local' guys who are have been in the team for a long time, ready to rotate in accordance with defensive and attacking situations", said Bresa coach Vincenzo Esposito.
