Crvena Zvezda's basketball team is facing one of the toughest parts of the season, as they prepare for their match against Partizan in the first leg of the ABA League semifinals on Monday.

Injuries are currently causing the most trouble for Sasa Obradovic, and it remains to be seen how and if the team will manage without Kodija Meintajer, who is out due to injury. The outcome of this match could have significant implications for Obradovic's future with the club, especially as fans are unlikely to forgive a defeat to their long-standing rival, especially after Partizan's victory against Zvezda in the Euroleague playoff earlier in April.

CONTEXT OF THE SEASON: Ups and Downs

Crvena Zvezda has experienced significant fluctuations during the season and has not made substantial progress in the Euroleague. The team has struggled with injuries and inconsistent form throughout the season. Expectations for the club were high given their roster and budget, both domestically and regionally.

PRESSURE AND PUBLIC EXPECTATIONS

There is considerable dissatisfaction among fans and the public regarding the team's performance. Obradovic is under immense pressure as the team prepares for the crucial match against Partizan. The result of this match could determine whether he continues to lead Crvena Zvezda or if a change in leadership is needed.
