00:00:25Dear viewers, welcome to the 76th edition of Scanner of the
00:00:28Week. I am Ilija Kovačić. And I am Ivan Govedarica, in front of you is
00:00:32this week's sports review through the prism of a sports club journalist, here's what you'll
00:00:35be watching, among other things, in the next hour on
00:00:38N1.
00:00:40The coach of the Serbian national football team, Veljko Paunović, has announced the list of
00:00:44players he will count on in the coming period. The team is expecting its first
00:00:48match against Greece already on September 24th in
00:00:51Belgrade.
00:00:55As the decision date approaches, the discussions about
00:00:58elections in the Football Association of Serbia on October 17th are heating up.
00:01:02Someone is leaving, someone will come, someone will change, we just
00:01:05need to see who
00:01:06it is.
00:01:09The Serbian volleyball team, with some great
00:01:13performances and strange coaching decisions, managed to qualify for the round of
00:01:1716 of the European
00:01:18Championship.
00:01:21The last time Novak Đoković was not ranked in the
00:01:25top 10 in the world was July
00:01:282018. Eight full years have passed, since then
00:01:31Đoković is still competitive, but he is outside the elite tennis
00:01:35society.
00:01:38Veljko Paunović has published the list of the Serbian national team for the upcoming
00:01:42Nations League matches, and the return of Dušan Tadić after two years is attracting
00:01:46the most attention. Who else is there and what awaits
00:01:49the Serbian footballers, Gojko Andrijašević will tell
00:01:52us.
00:01:54Perhaps not as bulky as Jürgen Klopp's list, who used the longest
00:01:58representative window in a World or European Championship to try out
00:02:0244 footballers,
00:02:05but the list of the Serbian coach Veljko Paunović for the upcoming Nations
00:02:09League matches is not small either. The Serbian coach will count on
00:02:1228 players for the next four clashes with the Greeks, Germans and two
00:02:16times the Dutch. The main news is that after more than two years
00:02:20of absence, the captain and record holder for the number of matches in the national team,
00:02:24Dušan Tadić, is returning. Although he is approaching his 40th birthday,
00:02:27it is estimated that Tadić still has something to offer in the national
00:02:30team jersey, and that as a mentor he can influence young
00:02:34teammates, especially those from the creative part of the team,
00:02:37because it was precisely in the previous matches that it was shown that the
00:02:40lucidity that the captain still possesses is something that was largely
00:02:44missing from the national team. Regardless of the fact that
00:02:48Paunović clearly stated that he will not divide players into old and
00:02:51young, but into those who can contribute to the results and
00:02:55the team's play. It is clear that the return of Dušan Tadić can
00:02:58bring back the atmosphere, perhaps some
00:03:01instant result, but in the long term, that is certainly
00:03:05not a move that will guarantee a clear perspective for the Serbian
00:03:08national team. Paunović also called some footballers who are closer to the end of their
00:03:12careers, such as Kostić and Gudelj, but also several
00:03:15debutants, young players who are the future of the Serbian
00:03:18national team. The injuries of Milenković, Mitrović and Rajković
00:03:22certainly came at an inconvenient time because Serbia does not have too many
00:03:25players of that quality and experience, and the opponents who
00:03:29are coming are more than demanding and quality. The first match against
00:03:32Greece, if it ends favorably in terms of results, could be
00:03:36a good stimulus for the continuation of the competition. Otherwise, and
00:03:39Greece has perhaps the most talented generation of the last few
00:03:43decades, a defeat in the opening duel would put Serbia in a difficult
00:03:46situation, and then survival in League A of the Nations League would be
00:03:50very difficult to achieve. Although the Nations League still does not have the same weight
00:03:54as the World or European Championship, the next
00:03:57qualifications for the aforementioned competitions will be much harder
00:04:00to achieve if they start from the second or third echelon of
00:04:03European football. The Eagles' camp is aware of this, but
00:04:07they will therefore have to offer their best performance on the field, bring the public back to
00:04:11the stadium, and restore faith in the fans that a return to the big scene is
00:04:14possible. For Scanner of the Week, Gojko
00:04:16Andrejašević.
00:04:24The Football Association of Serbia has scheduled an election assembly for October
00:04:2717th, when it will be known who will lead the association in the new mandate.
00:04:31Branko Spasojević is very familiar with the details of the events
00:04:35in the Serbian House of Football.
00:04:38The elections unfolded like elections that no one cares about.
00:04:41The culmination, however, follows a completely different scenario.
00:04:45The Football Association of Serbia will get its president on October
00:04:4817th, eight days before much more important parliamentary
00:04:52elections. The twice-postponed election
00:04:55assembly of the Serbian House of Football will quite unexpectedly be one of the factors in
00:04:59the political pre-election campaign. How much
00:05:02each person, as the future president of the Football Association of Serbia,
00:05:06will specifically influence the actions of the current regime is difficult to
00:05:09predict. However, many things have accelerated in recent
00:05:13days. Thus, Crvena Zvezda changed the holder of
00:05:17the delegate's mandate and instead of Dragan Džajić, included Zvezdan
00:05:20Terzić in the assembly. The unexpected
00:05:24replacement came the day before the constitutive session of the highest
00:05:27body of the Serbian House of Football was convened.
00:05:30The current president Dragan Džajić has lost his base and if there is no
00:05:34radical change in the next seven days, he will not even
00:05:37be a candidate for the future leader of the Football Association of
00:05:40Serbia. "The involvement of Zvezdan Terzić can be
00:05:44interpreted in several ways, not
00:05:46as an automatic choice for Dragan Džajić's successor at the top of Serbian
00:05:50football. The appointment, however, carries a specific
00:05:54weight, especially since the current director of Crvena Zvezda had not been
00:05:57directly involved in the institutions of the Football Association for years.
00:06:01Now he is returning in a big way, although in recent years he has
00:06:04established himself as the absolute number one in Serbian
00:06:07football. Has he, instead of being a ruler in the shadows, got
00:06:10a mix of Andrićev Venac and taken over all of Serbian football? That means
00:06:14soon, or at the latest by October
00:06:172nd. Until then, the candidates for the armchair at Terazije
00:06:2135 are obliged to submit biographies and proposals
00:06:24for the composition of the executive board. With certain obligations, it is about
00:06:2814 closest associates in the future government of Serbian
00:06:31football. As a future candidate for president, Branko
00:06:35Radujko is also being mentioned more and more loudly. The current
00:06:38general secretary of the Football Association of Serbia does not
00:06:41currently meet the basic condition, which is membership in the assembly.
00:06:44This is not an insurmountable obstacle, there is
00:06:47enough time until September 27th for a change in the delegate
00:06:51composition. And in the final sum, the election of the president
00:06:55of the Football Association of Serbia will depend exclusively on the will of the first
00:06:58man of Serbia. Whoever receives the green light from Andrićev
00:07:02Venac, as in the previous elections in 2016,
00:07:052019, and 2023,
00:07:08will lead Serbian football from October 17, 2020.
00:07:14Officially, according to the mandate, until 2030, based
00:07:18on a close reliance on political circumstances, but
00:07:21certainly until a change in the ruling regime.
00:07:25Perhaps it will be the shortest mandate in the history of Serbian
00:07:28football.
00:07:33One of the biggest transfers this summer could have had a
00:07:36completely different outcome. Rodri, immediately after he
00:07:40became a world champion with the Spanish
00:07:42national team, had the opportunity to choose between Real Madrid and
00:07:46Barcelona. The royal club very much wanted the winner of
00:07:49the 2024 Golden Ball and
00:07:52the best player of the recently concluded World Cup, but the brilliant
00:07:56midfielder eventually decided to sign for the fierce rival
00:08:00Barcelona. More details in the report by our colleague Aleksandar
00:08:03Pivljanin. It was talked about throughout the summer and announced
00:08:07that it was only a matter of time before Rodri, just as he completely revived his career
00:08:11by winning the World Cup with the Spanish national team, after
00:08:14major injury setbacks, would sign for the biggest European
00:08:17club, Real Madrid. It's no secret how much the Real midfield
00:08:21lacks a footballer of Rodri's profile and
00:08:24quality, especially since the Madrilenians no longer have such names
00:08:27in midfield as Luka Modrić or Toni
00:08:31Kroos. It was planned for Rodrigo Hernández Cascante,
00:08:34better known as Rodri, to stabilize the midfield and fill that big hole
00:08:38in Real's team that everyone saw last
00:08:41season. Everything was ready for his arrival at Santiago
00:08:44Bernabéu, then a big unpleasant surprise for the royal
00:08:48club. Rodri, in the meantime, agreed with the biggest rival and
00:08:52current Spanish champion, Barcelona. One of
00:08:54the most talked-about transfer sagas in the previous summer transfer window
00:08:58ended abruptly and had an unexpected outcome.
00:09:01Rodri is a new Barcelona player. A few days ago,
00:09:05the aforementioned player explained in a statement to Mundo Deportivo that
00:09:08money was not the decisive factor in making the decision to move to Barça,
00:09:12but that he felt that Hansi Flick's team's playing style suited
00:09:16him better and that it was an environment in which he could make further progress in his
00:09:20career. Rodri debunked claims that his decision was influenced
00:09:23by the Madrid giant's attitude towards the 2024 Golden Ball
00:09:27award, when the Spanish midfielder was in the race with
00:09:31Vinicius Junior. "It is not
00:09:33true that I rejected Real Madrid because they boycotted the Golden
00:09:36Ball award. At that moment, it did not affect me. It was a
00:09:40special day for me. There's no point in talking about people who were not at
00:09:44the ceremony, it was a beautiful moment for me and my
00:09:47family," Rodri told Mundo Deportivo.
00:09:51He stressed that it was not easy to say no to Real Madrid, speaking of the royal
00:09:55club with great respect. "Saying
00:09:58no to Real Madrid was not easy, especially because they treated me
00:10:02wonderfully. I made my decision for sporting reasons,
00:10:06I was guided by what attracted me more and where I felt I could
00:10:09achieve the most victories and progress as a player."
00:10:12He explained concisely why he chose Barcelona over
00:10:16Real. Rodrigo Hernández Cascante, born in Madrid
00:10:19in 1996, took his first serious football
00:10:23steps at the Atletico Madrid youth academy. As
00:10:27a teenager, he moved to Villarreal, for whose first team he debuted
00:10:31in 2015. Good performances brought him
00:10:34back to Atletico in 2018, and a year
00:10:37later he moved to Manchester City, beginning the most successful period
00:10:41of his club career. In seven years with the Citizens,
00:10:45he played 298 matches, scored
00:10:4828 goals, and won 14 major
00:10:51trophies. With the club from Manchester, he won four
00:11:00Champions Leagues, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World
00:11:03Cup. He scored the most important goal in his club career
00:11:07in the Champions League final in 2023 against Inter
00:11:11in Istanbul. His goal brought City a 1-0
00:11:14victory and the first European champion title in the club's
00:11:17history, completing the historic treble
00:11:20crown. On the back of these results, he also won
00:11:24the Golden Ball the following year, becoming the first Manchester
00:11:27City footballer to receive that award, while two years later
00:11:31he led Spain to the World Champion title and received the award for
00:11:34the best player of the World Cup, although many
00:11:37believed that Leo Messi deserved it more. With or without
00:11:41that recognition, Rodri is certainly one of the best footballers today and
00:11:45definitely the best in his position. This season, his
00:11:49erstwhile club, Real Madrid, could feel this on their own
00:11:52skin.
00:11:57Serbian volleyball players did not shine in the first phase of the European Championship,
00:12:01but they will continue the competition in the round of 16. Listen to the commentary on our
00:12:05national team's games in Tampere in our colleague Igor
00:12:08Jagličić's report.
00:12:11Summarizing the performance of the Serbian volleyball players in the first round of the European Championship
00:12:15is one of the more difficult tasks in my really long journalistic
00:12:18career. At the same time, controlling emotions when
00:12:22describing the play of Georgi Krecu's chosen players will be a
00:12:25skill, and all after the matches against Estonia, Finland, the Netherlands, Denmark, and
00:12:29start, for three wins and two
00:12:33losses, the Eagles would get a weak C from me. And
00:12:37it started with a win against Estonia in a match in which the Serbian coach surprised
00:12:41with the starting lineup, which, it would turn out, became his
00:12:44specialty in matches in Tampere. The victory came
00:12:48after 135 minutes with the contribution of
00:12:50eleven players and 20 points from Luburić, who was replaced
00:12:54at the end by Veljko Mašulović. However, after
00:12:57a day off, a match against Finland followed, which opened
00:13:01the eyes of the Serbian volleyball public and revealed countless
00:13:04weaknesses in our team. The national team, which had waited a long time
00:13:08for a victory against Serbia, swept the Eagles in just
00:13:1184 minutes. Desperate in almost
00:13:14all elements, Georgi Krecu's players probably
00:13:17realized that the desired first position in the group would remain just
00:13:21a dream. And then began the struggle for qualification to the round of 16.
00:13:25Miraculous comebacks against the Netherlands and Denmark from 0-2 to
00:13:283-2 showed the reality of the Serbian national team and still
00:13:32opened the way to the top 16 teams of the Old Continent.
00:13:36Much has been said about the character of our national team, because let's admit,
00:13:40it's never easy to come back in a match after being two sets down and ultimately
00:13:44win. The heroes of these triumphs were Dražen Luburić
00:13:48and Veljko Mašulović, and it's a real shame that no one else
00:13:51of quality stood alongside these two aces. This
00:13:55was evident in the last match against Belgium. The question is, with
00:13:59how much energy did the Serbian volleyball players play that match, did they
00:14:02calculate something? Although, judging by what we saw on
00:14:06the court, the Belgians are currently a much better team.
00:14:09It's also not good that Serbia, after a maximum loss, remained without
00:14:13important points for the world ranking list, so we fell to even
00:14:1718th position. Anyway, we're going to Torino
00:14:21for the round of 16 match, hoping that Krecu's boys will
00:14:33allow their opponents to run riot, but let's believe
00:14:36in a miracle.
00:14:45We also bring you a review of the recently concluded US Open. The titles were won by
00:14:49Elena Rybakina and Alexander Zverev, along with a large number of
00:14:52interesting stories from the last
00:14:55Grand Slam of the season. Saša Ozmo made a
00:14:57retrospective.
00:15:00Women's tennis has a new world number one, while Alexander Zverev masterfully
00:15:04took advantage of the opportunity that arose. This is the shortest
00:15:07way to describe the US Open behind us. Before this year,
00:15:11Elena Rybakina had never even reached the quarterfinals in New York. It was
00:15:15questionable whether she would be able to play due to an injury sustained in Cincinnati. Two
00:15:18weeks later, she defeated Aryna Sabalenka in the final, thus
00:15:22confirming that she is the new best female tennis player in the world.
00:15:3722 then
00:15:40uh I wasn't winning this the slams but I played final of
00:15:43Australian Open the year next year and I
00:15:47think we were always there and uh of course
00:15:50on your path you
00:15:52um learn a lot uh lot of things happening
00:15:56and uh I feel like now I have a great
00:15:59team great people around me and we just uh
00:16:02continue the work and it finally paid off and I'm
00:16:06super happy very
00:16:09After Roland Garros, Sascha Zverev won his second Grand Slam title. Jannik
00:16:13Sinner was absent due to a knee injury, while Alcaraz
00:16:16played his first tournament after five months, losing in the quarterfinals.
00:16:20Zverev, once again, took advantage of the opportunity. He played
00:16:2310 sets and 9.5 hours in the first two rounds, then found
00:16:27his rhythm and dominated until the end of the tournament. He lost only one set
00:16:30in the second week, in the final against Ben Shelton. Is
00:16:34Zverev now the best in the world?
00:16:53Novak Đoković was eliminated in the first round, just like the other two representatives, Hamad
00:16:57Međedović and Miomir Kecmanović. However, a
00:17:00girl from Belgrade lifted the trophy: Chinese player Xin Ran Sun
00:17:03is the junior champion, and she has lived in Serbia
00:17:07since she was 10 years old. Also, Marjana Veljović, a Serbian umpire with an ITF
00:17:11gold badge, made history by officiating her first men's singles Grand Slam
00:17:14final in her career. Somewhere amidst the smell
00:17:17of marijuana, influencers at every turn, and insane prices for drinks
00:17:21and food, good tennis was still played in New
00:17:24York.
00:17:29Novak Đoković, after an early exit at the US Open, dropped from
00:17:33fifth to 12th place in the ATP rankings, meaning he is outside the
00:17:36top 10 for the first time since 2008. In this
00:17:39extremely strange situation, Voja Veličković has prepared
00:17:42a story.
00:17:52The US Open is over, and with it an incredible era in the history
00:17:56of tennis. After as many as 24
00:17:59years, none of the members of the Big Three,
00:18:02the most magnificent generation ever in tennis, or perhaps in all of
00:18:06sport, are in the top 10 in the world. This
00:18:10moment occurred as a consequence of Novak Đoković's failure in
00:18:13New York and his fall from fifth to 12th place in the world
00:18:17rankings. The remaining rivals from the legendary trio,
00:18:20Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, have long since stopped
00:18:24playing, so the Serbian ace has been in the role of the last
00:18:28Mohican for several years.
00:18:30It's not the first time Đoković has fallen out of the most exclusive tennis
00:18:34club, but it could easily happen that he never
00:18:38returns to it.
00:18:41Nole, eight years ago, when he had major problems with his elbow,
00:18:45fell out of the top 20, but then returned to the top
00:18:48with a magnificent triumph at Wimbledon, later becoming world number one
00:18:52again. Not a small number of people believe that
00:18:56Đoković can again be in the top 10, if not higher,
00:18:59but there are two reasons that do not guarantee this
00:19:03possibility. The first is the fact that he plays fewer and fewer
00:19:06tournaments. And the second is the physical problems he has talked about
00:19:10many times. Of course, the cause of all this is
00:19:13age. Nole is 39, and that is
00:19:17a time when many qualities begin to quickly
00:19:20fade. On the other hand, when talking about
00:19:23Đoković's capabilities, one should never forget a
00:19:26statement by Holger Rune. What is
00:19:29impossible for others is not for Novak. That's why
00:19:32no one should ever write off the best tennis player in the world of all time,
00:19:36even on the verge of his fifth decade of life,
00:19:39time is by far his biggest opponent. Nole,
00:19:43after a poorly played American tour, on which he recorded
00:19:46only defeats, against the not so well-known Argentines,
00:19:49Tirante and Navone, returned home to
00:19:53recharge his batteries before the next
00:19:55tournaments.
00:19:58The next one should be the China Open in Beijing, which he has
00:20:02an incredible streak with. He has played it
00:20:05six times and won the trophy all six times, never
00:20:09losing. The last time he participated in this 500
00:20:12series was back in 2015. If
00:20:15he has preserved the magic of playing under the Chinese Wall, he would have an express
00:20:19chance to return to the top 10. The
00:20:22tournament is extremely strong, with Jannik Sinner, the current world
00:20:26number one, planning his return after a two-and-a-half-month long
00:20:29break, so much will depend on his form. Of course,
00:20:32it would be best if, after
00:20:35the Beijing tournament, we talk here about the phenomenal
00:20:39return of the greatest tennis player of all time to the top 10,
00:20:43as has been said many times, if anyone can
00:20:46achieve such a thing, then it is Đoković.
00:20:50For Scanner of the Week, Vojin
00:20:51Veličković.
00:20:59The outcome of the recently concluded Women's World Basketball Championship once again
00:21:03confirmed what has been known for years. The United
00:21:06States remained undisputed at the top. Stefan
00:21:10Dinić brings you a review of the events at the tournament held
00:21:14in Berlin. Another jubilee 20th
00:21:17edition of the Women's World Basketball Championship has concluded. What was
00:21:21expected, in the end, happened: the United States became the best for the 12th
00:21:25time in the history of this competition, France won the silver medal, and in
00:21:29the battle for bronze, Spain was better than the host Germany. To
00:21:32start, the World Championship lasted nine days, from September 4th to
00:21:3613th. 16 national teams participated, and all were accommodated in
00:21:39Berlin. From the region, there was no Serbia, Slovenia, Montenegro,
00:21:43or Bosnia and Herzegovina. Group A consisted of Spain, Germany,
00:21:47Japan, and Mali. Already in the second round, we saw a big surprise as
00:21:51Mali's basketball players defeated their rivals from Spain. Sikakoné finished the tournament
00:21:55with an average double-double performance, but that was not enough for
00:21:58further progress as Mali lost to Japan and Germany and finished last in the
00:22:02group. Spain then had a very bad night, but that it was ready for a great
00:22:06result was shown by other results. The victory against the host was
00:22:09by 30 points, against Japan it was 20, which was enough for
00:22:13direct qualification to the quarterfinals. Germany was second, Japan third, and
00:22:17these two national teams qualified for the play-offs. In Group B,
00:22:20France was a punitive expedition with all three wins and a point difference of plus
00:22:24127. Hungary and South Korea also
00:22:27advanced. Belgium won Group C due to a crucial victory
00:22:31over Australia, which was in the first pot before the draw, but was
00:22:34later stopped in the quarterfinals, so we can consider them the biggest loser
00:22:38in the tournament. A similar thing happened to Belgium later.
00:22:41From Group D, the United States, China, and Italy advanced, while
00:22:45the Czech Republic was eliminated as expected. In the quarterfinal play-offs, Germany
00:22:49demolished South Korea, and Hungary and Japan, while in tense
00:22:53finishes, the Australians were better than the Italians, and the Chinese than
00:22:56the Puerto Ricans. Perhaps the biggest media star in Berlin was
00:23:00the 223 cm tall Ziu Jang, but in the
00:23:03quarterfinals, she scored only seven points and collected eight rebounds, which was
00:23:07enough for a defeat against France by as much as 29 points.
00:23:11The quarterfinals were decided even before they began, as America
00:23:14defeated Hungary 108-56, Spain defeated Australia 89-66,
00:23:18and Germany defeated Belgium
00:23:2193-74. Emma Meesseman scored 29
00:23:25points in her last game of the tournament, finishing the World Cup as
00:23:28the top scorer and the player with the highest efficiency rating.
00:23:32So, the Americans won the tournament, but they had to really sweat in the
00:23:36semifinals and final. First, Spain entered the last quarter with
00:23:39a tied score, but later tournament MVP Brianna Stewart, with
00:23:43her skill and experience, brought the match to an end properly, while Caitlin
00:23:47Clark disappointed once again and, as against Italy, scored only one
00:23:50point. In the other semifinal, France showed class against
00:23:54Germany and won by 22 points. Spain later
00:23:57easily took bronze against the hosts, which was their best
00:24:01placement in history. In the final, without a doubt, were the two
00:24:05best national teams. France had a 16-0 run to get to
00:24:08a lead of even +14 in the second quarter, but then inexplicably
00:24:12collapsed. The best female basketball players on the planet won the third quarter by
00:24:1630-12 and at one point led by 27 points.
00:24:20So, nothing new happened this year. The Americans became the
00:24:23best for the fifth time in a row, and 12th overall. The next World
00:24:27Championship tournament will be held in four years in Japan, hopefully with many
00:24:31more countries from the region.

00:27:39"In the report prepared by our colleague Radan Tonović, we will see which clubs
00:27:42are entering the new season with new head coaches and whether we will see the first departures from
00:27:46this heated coaching carousel already during
00:27:49October. The Euroleague is at the doorstep and
00:27:53everyone is probably impatiently counting the days until its start. Clubs have
00:27:57more or less changed their squads during the summer,
00:28:01some have, in addition to the player roster, also changed
00:28:04the most important person on the bench. First
00:28:07on the list of those who are entering the upcoming battles with a new brain in the new
00:28:11season is Crvena Zvezda, which, after parting ways with Saša
00:28:15Obradović, decided to hire Spanish coach Ibon
00:28:18Navarro. Therefore, now the basketball and football teams
00:28:22of Crvena Zvezda have experts from the land of Sangria and
00:28:25bullfighting. Dubai, after winning the Aba
00:28:28League, thanked Aleksandar Sekulić for his cooperation and in his place
00:28:32brought Xavi Pasqual, whose task will be to integrate
00:28:35an extremely potent team, full of stars and starlets, into a system
00:28:39that respects the ball. A real
00:28:42reshuffle was made by Aleksandar Sekulić who headed towards
00:28:45Spain and signed a contract with Barcelona, while
00:28:48Dubai desperately needs discipline, Barcelona's
00:28:51basketball players need to be, as people say, unleashed this season.
00:28:55Time will tell who benefited the most from this exchange
00:28:59on the coaching benches. After
00:29:02Svetislav Pešić retired, Bayern brought Anton
00:29:05Gavela, one of the most promising young experts in
00:29:08Europe, to the position of head coach. He won the championship title
00:29:12with Ulm in 2023, while
00:29:16last season he reached the semifinals of the German
00:29:19play-offs with Bamberg. The coaching philosophy of this former Bayern
00:29:22player is based on intensive and aggressive
00:29:25defense and quick ball movement in the attacking phase, where solutions
00:29:29are sought through patiently built actions, not through individual
00:29:33ingenuity of individuals.
00:29:36A controversial saga unfolded this summer in France,
00:29:39it began when Tony Parker replaced Pierric Poupet and appointed
00:29:42himself as the coach of Asvel.
00:29:46Parker tried in every way to secure the money he had promised
00:29:49to the ill-fated reinforcements, but in the end, all that remained of this ambitious project
00:29:53was an empty promise. Although he
00:29:56initially announced that his seasonal salary would be 1.2
00:30:00million euros, in the end he had to make a drastic
00:30:03cut and will only earn
00:30:06240,000 this season. Pierric Poupet will have the opportunity to
00:30:10repay Asvel as assistant coach to Max Lefevre, the new coach of
00:30:14Paris. One of the brightest modern basketball
00:30:17minds, as he is described in America, returned to his homeland
00:30:21after many years spent in the NBA and NCAA
00:30:24league. Exceptional work on player development, excellent reading of
00:30:28opposing setups, fast play and freedom in attack, are the hallmarks of
00:30:32the coaching signature of this French expert.
00:30:36Pedro Martinez with his Valencia team was a real refreshment on the
00:30:39Euroleague scene last season. However, when the dismantling
00:30:43of his team began and when players successively decided to raise the anchor,
00:30:47Martinez accepted the invitation of Real Madrid, which unexpectedly
00:30:50fired Sergio Scariolo. The desire for
00:30:54the Royal Club to play spirited, fast and efficient was crucial for the leaders
00:30:58of Madrid, who did not spare...
