As the transfer window is coming to a close, it is more than obvious that Belgrade’s red and whites want to do everything to further strengthen its squad for the upcoming season. Ryan Thompson is landing at BC Red Star.

The latest player to sign for the Serbian team is a 27 year-old, 1,98m (6’6) tall guard, that has spent the past season playing in the German Bundesliga. He can cover more than one position on court, by playing both as small forward, and point guard, depending on the team’s tactical ideas. A variety that will come in as very useful to coach, Dejan Radonjić.

Aside from Germany, he played four seasons for the Rider University, a season in Italy, and two more in Belgium, one for Okapi Aalstar and Oostende, where he won the League and the Cup, in the 2013/2014 season.  During the past season, in Brose Baskets Bamberg, he had an average of 12,3 points, 2,3 rebounds, and a 42% of 3 point hits.

He is the younger brother of Jason Thompson, another basketball player of the family, who was traded this summer for the Golden State Warriors. 

After weeks of wait, the Greek-cameroonian center has finally arrived. The most well known signing of this transfer window for BC Red Star, Sofoklis Schortsanitis, has reached Belgrade, ready to take on the trainings.

Nakon nedelja čekanja, Sofoklis Skortsanitis je stigao u Beograd. Kao po dogovoru, stameni grčko-kamerunski centar je pristigao na aerodrom Nikola Tesla danas popodne, gde mu je pružena tradicionalna srpska dobrodošlica. Nakon koje ga nije čekao luksuzan auto, pa čak ni taksi.

A fairly easy win for Serbia against Israel, the host of two friendly matches, as part of the Eurobasket preparation interval. The team lead by coach Aleksandar Đorđević and captain Miloš Teodosić has won by 85-70, in a match with a strong offense and series of easy shots for the guests.

A victory for Viktoria. After the first leg match of the final qualifying stage for the Europa League, Vojvodina loses to Viktoria Plzen, with a 3-0 score (Kopic 25′, 82′, and Vanek 47′). The players of Zlatomir Zagorčić weren’t able to neutralize the efforts offered by the Czech rival.

Viktoria’s defence was too strong, even for the talented Ožegović, Stanisavljević and Pankov. A match that was more difficult, than the Serbian team had imagined.  The Czech’s force in the defensive, mixed with the insecurity of the Serbian guests was a recipe for a fairly easy victory for the host.

It is difficult to believe that the same squad, that was able to win over teams such as Sampdoria, was able to fall so easily, at such an important stage. But all  is not lost, even though most hopes do seem to have gone down.

The rematch is being played a week from now, at the Karađorđe stadium, in Novi Sad. It will be the last step for Vojvodina to cross, in a historical run at the Europa League. They have raised the bar this season, and accomplished a great deal in promoting Serbian club football. This generation has been creating history, during the past months, and it is obvious that they can do much more. The only question is, whether or not the young team is satisfied by participating alone. Or are they able to get to the finish line first?

Selektor reprezentacije Srbije, Aleksandar Đorđević, poranio je sa otkrivanjem još dva imena igrača koji neće ići na predstojeći Eurobasket.  Reč je o Luki Mitroviću i Marku Kešelju.

There are two names less for Serbia’s National Team shortlist, at the upcoming Eurobasket. Luka Mitrović and Marko Kešelj are no longer part of the team.

Na “Marakanu” stiže još jedan napadač, Predrag Sikimić.

Doskorašnji igrač Voždovca, u Crvenu zvezdu stiže nakon brojnih promenjenih klubova, među kojima su i: Lirs, Rad, Vojvodina, Ural i Smederevo, odakle je rodom.

Rođen je 29. avgusta, 1982. godine, igrao je za ukupno 12 timova, te mladu reprezentaciju SCG. Dominantna pozicija mu je centarforska, a Transfermarkt ga procenjuje na oko 250 hiljada evra.

Sa sadašnjim trenerom Zvezde je već sarađivao u ekipi Amkara i predstavlja više nego neophodnu taktičku dopunu u napadu. Pretpostavlja se, najviše Luisu Ibanjesu. Ugovor bi trebalo da bude potpisan narednih dana. Takođe treba navesti i da se u taboru crveno-belih očekuje još najmanje jedno pojačanje tokom ovog prelaznog roka.

Nakon 93 odigrana minuta u beloruskom Borisovu, rezultat je 1-0 u korist domaćina. Revanš u sredu.

After 93 minutes played in Belarus, BATE wins by 1-0 in the final stage before the beginning of the Champions League.

Proteklog vikenda odigrano je ukupno šest utakmica, šestog kola domaće Jelen Superlige.

Zbog obaveza u evropskim utakmicama, te pripremama za LŠ i LE, mečevi Partizana (protiv Rada), te Vojvodine (protiv Jagodine), odloženi su za 9. septembar.
