Jovanović Clear Ahead of KLS Final: Spartak, FMP, Borac, and Mega Should Be Talked About for Their Results!

I'd like Spartak, FMP, Borac, and Mega to be newsworthy in their own right. To be talked about for the results they achieve, not to have everything framed by whether we played against big clubs or not. I believe both FMP and we have done enough to be discussed for our merits, not for the historical context of why the 'eternal rivals' aren't here. That's not fair to them or to us.Vladimir Jovanović

We are clubs in our own right; we fight, and we've earned our place here. Everyone reached this point in their own way, and both FMP and we deserve to be here. I don't like that narrative, and I don't appreciate the constant comparison to big clubs or history. We played, we won, and now we're in the final. Last year, we played and lost. That's basketball, that's sport.Vladimir Jovanović

When you play against teams like Crvena Zvezda, my job is somewhat easier because the players are inherently motivated. The same goes for the final. My role isn't to extract extra energy from the players. FMP and we know each other very well, and I believe this game will be the culmination of everything we've worked on throughout the season.Vladimir Jovanović
