SOUNDBITE (English) Sasha Djordjevic, Serbia coach:

"Well, first of all, we have a lot of respect towards the opponent. I think they are the best team, or are amongst the two best, definitely. We are here to put our mark and to try to play the best game that we can and, why not, compete against them and try to find way to win a the game."

SOUNDBITE (English), Sasha Djordjevic, Serbia coach:

"I hope so, I really hope so for my players, for ourselves, to have a balanced game. That would be the goal for us, to try to achieve a balanced game at the end of the game and try to steal it... But obviously they have great coaches, great players, a great name and everything. We're just here to try to steal the championship from them."
