The former Real Madrid forward arrived in Belgrade and had nothing but praise for coaching legend Zeljko Obradovic, who will be guiding him from now on.

Vukcevic didn't hide that Obradovic was the main reason for his arrival because he wants to learn as much as possible from the winningest European tactician.

"He is the best coach and I want to learn from him. That influenced my decision to come here to a big club, like Real Madrid," the 18-year-old basketball player added.

Vukcevic is 18 years old which makes him the youngest member of Partizan's first team."It is good for me because we got a lot of young players, and we can hang out off the court," he commented.He also pointed out that he has the full support of his father, Dusan, a former guard-forward for Olympiacos, Real Madrid, Virtus Bologna, Olympia Milan, Siena and Red Star."He's always with me, whether I would go to Red Star or Partizan. He is my father and he's always on my side. For him, it is so great that I came to Serbia and Partizan," Tristan Vukcevic concluded.Zeljko Obradovic was full of praise for the young wing, pointing out that the black-and-white club gladly signed Vukcevic once the opportunity presented itself. "He's a very talented player," Zoc said. "Young, 18 years old, Serbian too... For us, there was no dilemma when the opportunity came to bring him in."Aleksa Avramovic, who played against Vukcevic in Estudiantes-Real Madrid derbies, said that the two know each other quite well."I know him from Madrid, we met last year when he started his senior career in Real. He's a super-talented boy.

Real Madrid get all that talents from Europe. I'm sure he'll find a place in the NBA if he continues to work in the right direction," his teammate said.
