Aleksandar Djordjevic: We must fight as a team

Fenerbahce Beko’s head coach Aleksandar Djordjevic, who will host AS Monaco tomorrow in the 13th week match of Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, made a statement before the match.

According to the statements on the club’s official website, Djordjevic underlined that the key point of the match was Monaco’s fast-paced game and their one-on-one creativity, and underlined that they should be very careful in defense.

Aleksandar Djordjevic’s statements are as follows:

“Monaco is a very athletic and physical team. They added Will Thomas and Mike James at the start of the season and have improved on the experience factor that is much needed in the EuroLeague. The key points of the match will be responding to Monaco’s fast-paced game and their one-on-one creativity. We have to be very careful in defense and organized to make the right decisions on offense. We have to fight as a team and we showed one of the best examples of this last night. Our opponent’s tall players, Motiejunas and Hall, can change the course of the fight in both directions of the game. One of the key points of the match for us is “It’s going to be how we play against them both ways of the game. We have to pay special attention to Monaco’s shooters. Especially being able to stop Andusic, who is attacking with a lot of percentage from behind the three-point line, and Bacon, who is very effective one-on-one, are key issues in terms of defense.”
