Alimpijevic: Better Days Are Coming for Beşiktaş

Beşiktaş played Virtus Bologna away in Round 9 of the EuroLeague. A three-pointer by Conor Morgan in the final second allowed the team to defeat its opponent. With this win, Beşiktaş completed its double-game week with one win from two matches.

Speaking to the press after the match, head coach Dusan Alimpijevic said he respected the home club and its fans. Arguing that Bologna is a EuroLeague club, Alimpijevic stressed that the atmosphere in the city is one of the strongest in Europe. He also recalled that he had previously worked against Virtus in the EuroCup final.

Alimpijevic described the game as a contest that both teams deserved to win. The coach said the result could have gone either way in the final stretch, and noted that his team played calmer and more consistently in that part of the game. He added that the team is without five important players, and some of them have not yet been able to start the season.

Alimpijevic said he believes Beşiktaş will enjoy better days as the missing players return. Congratulating his players, the coach said that winning away under these circumstances is of great importance.
