a prva ljubav zaborava nema, u prak- si potvrđuje Pero Antić. Posle puteše- stvija po svim meridijanima, vratio se u Beograd. Posle velikih stanica kakve

su bili AEK, Crvena zvezda, Lukoil, Lokomoti- va, Spartak iz Sankt Peterburga, Olimpijakos, Fe- nerbahče, opet je stigao među svoje crveno-bele. Da pomogne Zvezdi da osvoji ABA ligu i prven- stvo Srbije. – Za nas su april i maj najznačajniji meseci u godini. To je kulminacija sezone, tada se bori- mo za trofeje i očekujem da budemo najbolji. Pr- vi cilj u 2018. nismo uspeli da ostvarimo, nismo osvojili Kup Radivoja Koraća . Ipak, znam da ne- ma šanse da kiksnemo kada je reč o ABA ligi i nacionalnom šampionatu. Ali neće nam biti la- ko. Mi jedini igramo Evroligu i svi žele naš skalp. Svi hoće da se dokazuju protiv nas. Mi smo spre- mni – počinje priču Antić. Posle svega što je u karijeri osvojio, 35-godiš- nji Antić je i dalje gladan uspeha. – Vratio sam se u Zvezdu jer sa njom nisam bio šampion Jadrana i Srbije, već samo osvajač Kupa Radivoja Koraća . Molim se bogu stalno da i to ostvarim. Uradiću sve što je u mojoj moći da stignem do cilja. Bilo bi lepo da podignem pehare. Jedan od razloga zbog kojih se vratio u vo- ljeni klub su i delije , navijači bez kojih nema do- bre utakmice. – Koliko ih samo volim! Ma obožavam ih! C onfirming in practise the notion that there’s no forgetting one’s first love is Pero Antić. After trav- elling around all meridians, he returned to Bel- grade. Following major stops along the way, like AEK, Red Star, Lukoil, Lokomotiv, Spartak from St. Peters- burg, Olympiacos and Fenerbahçe, he has again arrived among his Red & Whites, in order to help‘Zvezda’win the ABA League and the Serbian Championship. - April and May are the most important months of the year for us. That’s when the season culminates, when we fight for trophies and when I expect to be the best. We didn’t succeed in our first goal of 2018 when we didn’t win the Radivoje Korać Cup. Nevertheless, I know that there’s no way for us to give a poor showing when it comes to the ABA league and the national championship. But it won’t be easy for us. We are the only ones playing in the Euro- League and everyone wants our scalp. Everyone wants to prove themselves against us. We are ready – says Antić at the start of this interview. After everything he’s won in his career, the 35-year- old Antić is still hungry for success. - I returned to Zvezda because I wasn’t a champion of the Adriatic and Serbia with that club, rather only the Radivoje Korać Cup. I pray to God constantly that I can also achieve this. I will give my all to achieve that goal. It would be nice to lift trophies.
