THE Alex Moubrocoach of the Spaniards, spoke after the match about the great importance of the two doubles that his team has done on Greek soil, while he praised the effort of his players, who, as he said, never gave up.

The Valencia coach said at the press conference:

“It was a tough game tonight. When important players are missing it raises the level of difficulty. We had 2 different halves. In the first we didn’t make good choices in defense and Panathinaikos was on target. In the second we improved defensively and Panathinaikos had free shots. We achieved 50 points in this period. My players fought until the end and I’m happy about that. The game was decided at the end and we had the last possession.”



On how stubborn the defeat by Maccabi Tel Aviv made Valencia: “We played very well against Maccabi. We had the last possession against Panathinaikos. It’s important to have the last possession and we managed to find a solution at the end.”

For the expectations for the games in Greece: “It is difficult because these are difficult games in hot seats. We beat both teams in the end. I’m happy because we won in the end. The important thing is to find ways and fight, which we did today.”

On the trust he shows in his players and in particular Chris Jones: “Sometimes it’s Jones, sometimes it’s Prepelic, sometimes it’s Dublevic. It’s important to have options. Chris was in the mood for the match and we found the best solution for the last shot. When that happens it’s not just about the last shot, it’s not just about belief, it’s about being able as a team to take the shot.”
