Zeljko Obradovic and Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade lost their third game in a row in the EuroLeague against EA7 Emporio Armani Milan tonight, falling to a record of 0-and-3.

After the game, the legendary coach addressed the media, criticizing the Serbian press for their coverage of Partizan's possible additions both during the offseason and during the start of the new basketball year.

"I don't know how many names I read in the newspapers this summer, it's science fiction. I really don't know who put all those names in the newspapers. No one ever came to suggest any specific name to me or to ask me what I think about that player," Zeljko told. "There were no options to sign any new player. I work with what I have in the team."

"Somebody mentioned Campazzo... Did you read the information about how much money Fenerbahce or Real Madrid were ready to pay him? Can Partizan get into it? It's a made-up story that Partizan has money or something," the coach continued. "Partizan made a good story with fans and the sold tickets, so some budget was made."

For the first time in his lengthy coaching career, Zeljko Obradovic started a European club competition with no wins in the first three matches.

Partizan will look to bounce back against Virtus Segafredo Bologna on Thursday in front of their home fans.
