Athens –
After the game, Coach Scariolo spoke this way to Euroleague microphones, “The level of the EuroLeague is extremely high from every point of view, we suffered a heavy lesson on what it means to face a team that has played the Euroleague Final Four several times. We have to learn a lot, me as a coach, all the players, to have the right consideration of where we are. And that’s all A tough defeat, we just have to tell everyone we’re sorry, especially our fans, and start working again to prepare for the next games.”
Coach’s words in the press conference, “Congratulations to Olympiacos. It gave us a lesson in what it means to be a club that has made several Euroleague Final Fours. As a coach I take full responsibility for the defeat. I don’t think we need to go into technical details. When things go wrong, then they go worse. We are concerned about the injuries to Ojeleye and Pajola. Shengelia played a few minutes, in fact for him it is as if the season starts again now. Vezenkov? I don’t know if he is the best big wing in Europe, the competition is thick. It’s certainly hard to play against him, and as a basketball fan he’s beautiful to watch.”
