After Partizan’s win over Spartak in the first game of the Serbian Superleague playoff finals, assistant coach Bogdan Karaičić immediately cooled down the hype. “A well-deserved victory, but we won’t get carried away,” he said, making it clear that staying grounded is key. Although the team surprised many with their performance, Karaičić stresses the importance of calm and focus for the rest of the series. Legendary coach Željko Obradović, who served a four-game suspension, will remain off the bench until the season’s end because “Obradović is a man of his word” and respects the agreement. This statement sheds light on the internal discipline and readiness of Partizan to fight till the end, no matter the obstacles. If Partizan keeps this up, they might shock everyone, but Karaičić doesn’t want anyone to dream too big. “If there’s a triumph, great, if not, we’ll see what progress is needed,” he concluded. This realistic yet fighting message is exactly what Partizan needs right now. So, do you believe Partizan will clinch the title, or is this just the start of another nail-biting battle? Drop your thoughts, let’s see who’s optimistic and who’s skeptical!
