CSKA vs. Partizan Belgrade: 75-63
Dusko Vujosevic, CSKA head coach:
I am satisfied with a result more than with a game. We have allowed Partizan to take 15 offensive rebounds. Almost every second miss by the opponents led to their rebound. On the other hand, it seemed like we still have heavy legs after a long preparation period. Perhaps Partizan have the same problem, but not so obvious because Belgrade team has a lot of young players. It is obvious that the opponents prepared well to the game against us, while we have not had the opportunity to study Partizan game - their preseason games were not recorded. To some extent this is hampered our actions. Despite the fact that this meeting was the preparation, the beginning of the season just around the corner, and some of our players need to urgently improve their shape. I do not want to analyze the actions of single players, but in response to a question about our newcomers I can note that Boban Marjanovic is the one of those who need to improve his shape quickly.
Partizan is a club that I love, and I gave my maximum to it. For the same reason, now I feel the utmost tranquility. I am confident that the club and the team are in good hands. Our peoples, our teams are the brothers, and it is normal that the fans, supporting their teams also express warm feelings toward rivals.
