Real Madrid guard Dzanan Musa spoke to Nacional.hr, a Bosnian media outlet. Today the player is fundamental in Los Blancos’ rotations, but in recent years he has tried the NBA where, however, he has struggled a lot. “It all depends on the situation. When I was in the NBA, I didn’t find myself in the situation I should have been in. I believe I could have had a serious role in any NBA team, but I found myself in a situation that wasn’t good for me. I think every player who plays in the NBA and then comes back to Europe will tell you that if you get there in a good situation, if the coach believes in you and you play, then you have the opportunity to prove everything I didn’t have the chance to be on the pitch and that the coach trusted me. These are some things that I can’t influence. I did my best, but it wasn’t the right situation for me at the time and when I arrived they gave me trust from the first moment, which I think is fundamental. The most important thing for me is the respect and trust I receive from the coach, and that’s exactly what I got in Spain.”
Musa’s return to Europe took place at Breogan. The Bosnian, when agent Raznatovic suggested he sign there, had to see where the city of Lugo was on the map. “Yes, it’s true, because I’ve never heard of Lugo or the Breogán club, even though I love basketball and follow it. Not knowing the city and the club helped me, in a certain sense. It was a new challenge for me and Miško Ražnatović convinced me that it was the best thing for me, although honestly at the beginning I didn’t believe him. I arrived at a club that gave me everything, the city from the beginning gave me the love I needed to do what I did. I am grateful to them for the rest of my life, I can say that Lugo is my hometown in Spain.”
In the NBA his parable was similar to that of his teammate Mario Hezonja. “We didn’t talk about that, we talked about a billion other things, about how strange it is that life takes a turn like that. In the NBA we were expected to do bigger things, but like I said, we didn’t get there. to a situation where we could show what we could do. And then we get to a situation where the great Real calls us and says what you said, that is: guys, here’s the ball, play as you want.” .
Is returning to the NBA a goal? “I said that there have been contacts, but it doesn’t mean that I would necessarily want to return to the USA. The contacts are there, but I am focused on the season with Real Madrid, to try to win two titles, which is our objective in this season. season. Then we’ll think about everything else.”
