Zalgiris lost to Wolves 97-93 accepting an incredible 27-0 in five and a half minutes. After the match, Mr Andrea Trinchieri he was asked if his players were on their minds on… holidays and the Italian coach “assured”.
“You serious; What did you say; We have a game between 40 and 72 hours. What holiday are you talking about? So do you know our record? We’re coming off two games we won by 40 points and we had a bad quarter and we’re on vacation man.
Well, if you’re serious, I’ll give you a serious answer. Your question is unacceptable. We played a miserable quarter. We will watch this quarter. We will do whatever it takes on my end to resolve it. But never disrespect my players again. Never! Because I’m not disrespecting your work. We played badly. One thing does not focus on other things. Being on vacation when you get paid to do your job. This is too far in my opinion.
You did it. Because if I tell you that you are on vacation now, what will you think about that? What will you think if I tell you that you are here with a laptop but you are on vacation? Do you think it’s not offensive? Is that something you will accept? And believe me, I’m not mad about the game. Don’t think about the outcome. Don’t get me wrong, bad things happen. We are playing a bad second quarter and I am responsible for that. And I’ll take the blame for that. But you tell my players they’re on vacation? No way. Never again».
