Scariolo: “The team has made a great effort”
“Thanks to our fans for their support, and I hope they continue supporting us because we need it,” said the coach after the game against Baskonia.
Sergio Scariolo spoke to the media after the game against Baskonia in the penultimate round of the Endesa League: “First of all, congratulations to Baskonia. They played a very serious and consistent game for all 40 minutes. On our side, it’s clear that we ran out of gas at the end. In the first half, we were quite good. In the second, we were a bit inconsistent.”
“The team has made a great effort. We want to refresh and give everyone a breather. Obviously, this affects the result, but thanks to the fantastic regular season we've had, it doesn’t carry much significance, and we can afford it. Even so, the idea was to play to win, and we’ve shown that.”
Support from the fans
“The most important thing today is to thank all our fans, those who cheered us on during the Final Four and all those who appreciated our effort. Those who were here and the tens of thousands who congratulated us and made us feel how much they valued what the team did in an outstanding EuroLeague.”
“I hope they can continue supporting us because now we truly need it. We’re short-handed, and it’s evident that we have a significant deficit. Surely the players will regain some freshness and mental and physical energy. But that won’t change the fact that the situation isn’t easy. If we want to win this league, we have to make another tremendous effort. It’s better that we’re all clear about that from the beginning, and the support of the fans will be crucial.”
