Bohoridis: “We were much softer than Barcelona – Absences are not an excuse”

Details of what he said to NOVA:



“Unfortunately, we only endured the first ten minutes in which we were serious. From the second onwards, Barcelona picked up the pace, played louder than us. He went to the contacts, they really played as they should. Strong basketball, while we did not respond, we were much softer. He took the difference fairly and the game had this image “.



On whether the altitude difference of the groups was felt: “It simply came to our notice then. Not only in the descent and the traps they made, they have tall bodies and can easily cover the field. In all parts of the game they played much louder than us and that’s why we had this image today “.

For the … basketball stick: “It’s definitely a matter of the mind, it should not spoil your mind. Barcelona is a team that plays on the verge of a foul. It is often difficult to stay focused. From there on, you must also … get nervous in basketball, put your body playing just as hard to face them. “Something we did not do.”



For players coming and going and absences in training and games: “It is very different when in one week some people train and others do not. We miss people, we had very important absences. I do not want to dwell only on this. Those of us who are on the field and playing must give our best. Certainly the image we presented today was not the one we needed because we did not show toughness. I will not dwell on these excuses, we had to show a better self and that does not change now “.
