Grimmow: “We came out of Game 4 sad and angry”

After trying to take the title of “favorite” over his team, O Roger Grimmow she mentioned in her last game Barcelona by Olympic for the Euroleague playoffs. The Spanish coach said that since the fourth game, his players have come out sad and angry, possibly heralding a reaction from his team.

His statements in detail:

On Wednesday’s match and whether Barcelona are the favourites:

“For the title of favourite, I really don’t care what people think. As with all the big nights in Palau’s history, the crowd was always there. I hope they’ll be there again, to support us like they always have, I hope they give us extra energy.”

“We were hoping to win the fourth game, but we lost it and we came out sad, angry, angry, but that’s about it. In every game we have to know what we did right and what we did wrong and we have to concentrate on the crucial match. It’s the biggest match we’ve played this year, along with the Copa del Rey final.”

For home field advantage in Game 5:



“Playing at home gives you extra energy, but it doesn’t guarantee you victory. We will have to do all the things we did well in three of the four games. On a defensive level, above all, to have the intensity we need, knowing what we have to do at every moment. It’s important to stay true to our style of play.”

“We have to take advantage of the ‘Palau Blaugrana’ push, but be aware of the opponent’s style and how they take advantage of your mistakes at the first opportunity. It will be a very intense match, but the players are used to playing these kinds of games.”

For the match against Gran Canaria:



“The way the Gran Canaria game went and the way we took it, it has to make us believe that we are at the level we want in defense and in attack we are a very good team.”

For fatigue from continuous games:



“Maybe it would have been better if we had rested before the games in the last two weeks, to be fresher. However, we are at the appropriate level of readiness and in the best possible situation.”
