MZT against Mega ends the bad streak of results in the ABA league
MZT Skopje Aerodrom lost the previous three matches in the regional competition, and today from 21.00 in SC "Jane Sandanski" aims to end the series of defeats.
The new rival of Aleksandar Petrovic's players is the Serbian team of Mega, the Macedonian champion in the past period parted ways with Evan Maxwell and Andrej Magdevski, and a new addition is Aleksandar Bursać.
On the other hand, Mega comes to the capital in good form, achieving triumph in the last two meetings. First, they defeated Derby at home, and they were better at the visit of Mornar, and now they want to continue the winning streak.
Until now, MZT and Mega have met five times in Skopje, in three matches the "metals" were better.
Aleksandar Petrovic, coach of MZT Skopje Airport:
- We have an extremely important match ahead of us, on which the continuation of the season depends a lot. We are playing against the youngest team in the league, whose strongest weapons are running, energy and rebounding. I will highlight Dragan Milosavljevic, who tied the strings in the Mega MIS team with his experience. We know the opponent well, what are their strengths and weaknesses, which we will try to exploit. The recipe is to respond with good energy and a quality jump and if we do that we will be able to get the desired victory. Of course, for this we will need a lot of support from the stands, which is why I call on the fans to come in as many as possible and be our sixth player again.
Mike Caffey, player of MZT Skopje Aerodrom:
– Playing in front of the home crowd always brings an additional challenge and motivation to give our best to make the fans happy with a good game and victory. Against us we have a young and fast squad, which means that we will have to respond to their flight and energy. If we do our best and respond to the coach's demands, I am sure that we will be close to the desired goal, which is triumph.
