Crvena Zvezda is red hot from the moment Dusko Ivanovic sat on the bench. Winning every single game since in the ABA league and Euroleague. The streak continued against Partizan in a historical Euroleague derby.
The experienced coach talked about his new team.
“I didn’t scan Crvena Zvezda before coming, the invitation came suddenly, maybe I watched only one match of Crvena Zvezda. In the beginning, the most important thing for a coach is to have players who trust him, and the coach must also believe in the players. Patience in life is very important, nothing comes overnight“, said Duško Ivanović in the show “60 minutes with Vlada and Aco” on MaxBet Radio.
Rumor has it that Zvezda’s workouts last for hours.
“They last as long as I think it is necessary to achieve a certain form, to be better at each training session than the previous one. An hour, two, three, it doesn’t matter. We are professionals, we have one goal. I don’t do anything more than other serious coaches do“.
He talked about team flaws that he has to camouflage.
“It’s true, every team has weaknesses, and every coach tries to camouflage them. I couldn’t tell you what they are, I wouldn’t be a good coach if I did. For the trust, stability is an essential defense. Players need to understand that defense is what will give them stability in the offense. What gives strength is not attack, but defense. That’s why I always prioritize defense, but even that defense is only a base for the offense“.
