"A new competition is upon us, a unique and somewhat unusual one, as we cannot field our full squad. Nevertheless, we have great respect for our opponent. After a break and a few days off, we are returning to a competitive rhythm, and we must play a good game, with intensity and seriousness, against a team that had a very strong regular season in the KLS. They will certainly come here with great motivation." - Đoan Penjaroja, Partizan coach
