Bayern Munich Basketball has significantly improved its performance since Svetislav Pesic took over as head coach. Although it was impossible to reach the playoff stage, the team concluded the regular season leaving a positive impression and is ready to aim for the title in the German championship.
This was demonstrated by their victory in Milan against Olimpia Milano with a score of 94-84. The 76-year-old coach was in a very good mood after his team's performance and win, which he did not hide in his statements during the usual "flash" interview for EuroLeague, given to the Italian journalist from "Sky Sports," Gaia Accoto.
After praising his players for the away win, he began to ask Accoto if she knows the Bundesliga and if she follows it, as Bayern will now focus there. Below is the epic dialogue, with the experienced Serbian coach even asking for her phone number.
Pesic: Now we have the Bundesliga. You don't know the Bundesliga, you don't follow it? Journalist: I try to follow everything, but the day, coach, as you know, has 24 hours. Pesic: Germany, as you know, is the world and European champion. Journalist: I know, I know, I was there when they won. I follow everything, as I told you. Pesic: Then I invite you to the playoffs, to our games. Journalist: Really? Then I will be there. Pesic: Give me your number and I will tell the club people to organize it, if you want to watch a Bundesliga game. Journalist: You are a legend, you invite me, of course I will be there. Pesic: Everyone talks about the Spanish, Italian, Turkish championships, but no one about the championship of the world and European champions. Journalist: I'm telling you the truth, before the game with a colleague we were talking about the work you do with young players.
