After handily defeating the Czech Republic on Monday in Team Serbia’s first game since losing Bogdan Bogdanovic to a hamstring injury, the legendary coach, Svetislav Pešiu0107, was asked if the team’s ambitions had changed since losing their captain. Pešiu0107 laughed, scoffing at the notion, then responded in his native tongue, “We would immediately be shot for it. Do you know where we come from?”

Coach Pešiu0107 had a very interesting quote about Team Serbia's ambitions in the Tournament after Bogdan Bogdanoviu0107 had to leave the team after the injury.#SRBvsCZE#EuroBasket2025 pic.
