The greatest Serbian athlete of all time, Novak \u0110okovi\u0107, has advanced to the round of 16 at the Australian Open, where he will face Jakub Men\u0161\u00edk. As a big supporter of Crvena zvezda, Nole manages to follow EuroLeague events despite the time difference and his obligations, and his words from Melbourne will delight all Red-and-White fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sa\u0161a Obradovi\u0107\u2019s team has strung together victories in difficult away games, and Novak, together with the Delije, is once again dreaming big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I wake up in the morning, I break into a sweat when I see the result and watch the highlights, then I read messages from my Zvezda-supporting friends,\u201d \u0110okovi\u0107 began, as reported by Sportklub<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/darko-milicic-ponovo-o-zeljku-obradovic-nimalo-prijatne-reci-na-racun-legende-partizana-izneo-je-niz-tvrdnji-o-najtrofejnijem-treneru-evrope\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Asked who his favorite player is, Novak replied with a laugh:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh man, who\u2019s my favorite player? The one who plays best in that particular game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Novak said he hopes this season is the time for a breakthrough, and he also revealed a message exchange with a friend who thinks like the average Crvena zvezda fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHonestly, I was surprised. As a fan, I didn\u2019t expect them to string together three away wins. Our momentum dropped a bit after a few losses, and now we\u2019ve\u2026 A friend sent me a message: \u2018The Final Four hype is starting again.\u2019 That\u2019s where we are \u2014 in Final Four hype mode,\u201d Novak said, adding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s still a lot of basketball to be played. I don\u2019t give myself the right to comment in a professional sense, I watch as a fan. Of course I break into a sweat \u2014 much more than when I\u2019m playing my own match, honestly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He plans to watch the Zvezda\u2013Olympiacos game in Athens, where he is currently based. He is also already thinking about the Final Four, which will also be held in the Greek capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow there are some home games coming up, but there\u2019s also one away against Olympiacos \u2014 I think I\u2019ll be in Athens then\u2026 Whew, I can\u2019t wait for that brotherly duel! I hope \u2014 I can\u2019t wait for the Final Four tickets to go on sale, I\u2019m buying them, and then we\u2019ll see what God gives us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Novak also commented on Partizan\u2019s big comeback win over Hapoel in Munich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPartizan also pulled off something incredible, that was fantastic as well. Congratulations to them too, I hope they pick themselves up a bit. It\u2019s a tense period after \u017deljko\u2019s departure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also had a message for the water polo players who are playing Hungary in the European Championship final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCongratulations to the water polo team first of all \u2014 Serbia is in the final. I don\u2019t know what else to add; they\u2019ve never disappointed us, they\u2019re always at the top and always fighting for gold. I wish them to win gold against Hungary in front of a full Arena \u2014 that\u2019s a great water polo derby,\u201d Novak concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
