Coach Ivanovic’s statements on the eve of the game<\/strong>: \u201cBarcelona is one of the best teams in the Euroleague, definitely a candidate for the Final Four, but we have the goal of improving game after game. Every game we have to show more, especially in terms of energy and character.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Marco Belinelli’s pre-game<\/strong>: \u201cImportant game, against a strong team like Barcelona, a team that comes from good performances like the last one won at home against Fenerbahce. We know how tough it will be both tactically and physically: it will be important to fight as we did in the last game, but trying to limit our mistakes. We will have to play team basketball, both on offense and defense, ready to help each other until the end.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
