Olimpia Milano guard Nemanja Nedovic explained why signing with the Italian team this summer was quite the easy choice for him, following the most productive season (16.8 points, 4.8 assists per game in EuroLeague with Unicaja Malaga) of his career so far.
“From the beginning when we started to look at my possible destinations, Milan was there, with a great offer for me,” Nedovic said in an interview for OlimpiaMilano.com. “For my future, for my family, my girlfriend works as a model so she will have a lot of work here. Then I lived in Italy, I know the country, I love the food, I know the people, they are very kind and I was really impressed with the plan, the organization has for this year, the players they signed. It wasn’t a difficult decision.”
Milano finished 2017-2018 on a high note, by winning the Italian Serie A title. For Nedovic, doing the repeat is among his and his teammates’ primary goals but the ultimate dream is going as far as possible in EuroLeague.
“My expectations are very high, with this team we can aim at the highest possible goals,” Nedovic said. “Everybody expects us to win the Serie A again, we’d like to win the Italian Cup, and the EuroLeague is the biggest wish for us. It’d be great to qualify for the Top 8, set this as our first goal and then of course if we have a chance the go to the Final Four it’ll be great. I think the quality is there, the players are there, it’s only a matter of chemistry, of how we’ll start the EuroLeague. In basketball everything is possible, Zalgiris was a great example last year. Why not try to do the same?”
