Vezhenkov: “The defeat will haunt us and the world for a few more days”

His mission has been in Athens for some time now Olympiakou, reaching “El. Venizelos” shortly after 17:00, from Kaunas.

A few hours after the defeat by Real Madrid in the final of the Euroleague, the disappointment in the ranks of the “red and white” remains great, something that was also reflected by the statements by Giorgos Bartzokas to reporters upon the team’s arrival at the airport.

THE Sasha Vezenkov in turn, after declaring proud for what the team has achieved this year, then took them on responsibilities that he and his teammates have for the lost final, however, giving the signal that everyone should continue and look aheadas there are still the championship finals.



Sasha Vezenkov’s statements in detail:



“First of all, I’m very proud of this team, of what we’ve accomplished this year, of our chemistry, of our work, of all the hardships we’ve gone through and the good times. Unfortunately we didn’t make it. We controlled the game for the longest time.

It’s our fault. We made mistakes. We didn’t manage well in the last few seconds. We were so close, but basketball is a fair sport. Congratulations to Real. We must continue. Fortunately in 2-3 days we have a match again, so we go for the last goal of the season, to win all the domestic titles and finish the season properly.

For a few more days it will be in our heads and in us and in the world. There are no words for this world. He came to Kaunas in the midst of elections, in a difficult game. We are waiting for him in the finals with us, to conquer the last goal of the season.

Okay, when you get to the last few possessions, luck definitely plays a role. The point is not to get there. I think we are solely responsible for the fact that we got there.”
