There is not much left until the end of the season, but the goals are clear...

"The goal until the end of the season is imperative to get past Mega in the quarter-finals of the ABA league playoffs, and in the semi-finals, as well as on Friday, to try to sell the skin as expensive as possible, especially in front of our fans.

That we see a full Morača on Friday and that, regardless of the outcome of that game, we deserve that everyone they come against Mega and that it will be like that later. They don't come because of the opponent's name, but because of the way we present ourselves, and really one of the goals is to fill Morača," Mijović admits.

He did only two training sessions with the team, but...

"The first impression is very positive, the team reacted very well. We met and everything went beyond my expectations, considering the situation that was the previous week. I am happy with the enthusiasm and psychology of the boys after the defeat against Borc and everything that happened happened," Mijović pointed out.

He also says that it won't be easy at all in the rest of the season...

"Certainly the names of our rivals, especially the first one on Friday, speak volumes, but I hope that we will be ready to fight primarily and to make the best possible concentration out of that, but also out of maximum energy, focus and concentration. No moment of taking over anyone is easy. Changing the coach in itself in the short term sometimes brings inviting reactions, energy. We'll see...", pointed out Mijović.

I know that Jovanovic worked at an exceptional level

Mijović also spoke about the recent coach of Budućnost...

"I know that this team trained very well, that Vladimir Jovanović worked at an exceptional level and with dedication... Now that certain line between training and matches was not always balanced, they did not manage to continuously play the way they train, so I hope that the impression of good training will not deceive me," concluded Mijović.
