Coach Alex Mumbr\u00fa had this to say on the eve of the game in Munich: \u201cIt\u2019s an important game against a really good team, featuring some of the best players in Europe. We\u2019ll need to stay focused for 40 minutes because playing on the road at the SAP Garden is tough, with the home crowd really pushing them on, so it\u2019ll be crucial to stay connected from start to finish, no matter who takes the court.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Francesco Ferrari on the game against the Bavarians: \u201cWe\u2019re in for a tough game, especially since away games in the EuroLeague are always difficult to handle. Right now, at the start of the season, the opponent\u2019s level or their standing in the standings doesn\u2019t matter much\u2014what\u2019s important is approaching the game the right way. It\u2019ll be a very physical game, one we need to tackle with the desire to compete and win. The wins against Olympiacos and Roma have given us confidence, but those are already in the past; tomorrow will be a whole new story.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
