In detail what Real coach said:



“Congratulations to Olympiacos for his victory. Today it was a different game, I think we fought to the end and I am proud of my players and their efforts. Sometimes in the attack we had success in what we had designed, others not, but we fought to the end. I am very proud of the heart my team has shown, it is not easy to win here, in this basketball atmosphere, against this team. We made our efforts, we believed that we could win. Olympiacos took the victory just. “

If he thinks the order of 2-0 can turn around:“We will continue to believe until the end and fight, this is what we constantly say is our mentality. We can do it and I expect it to be done. Olympiacos has a very good team, we knew it is difficult to win them here, but we did the best we could, in the end we might have had the opportunity to win. “.

For arbitration: “I am the Real coach and in our club we never get used to complaining after refereeing and injuries or anything else outside the game. During the race we will naturally fight and protest if we consider that a whistle is bad. I believe in the honesty of the referees.

All I can tell you is that we will try to improve our basketball in the next game and try to win. This is the only thing that depends on us. We’ll see the video and try to improve to win Tuesday ».

For the battles in play-off and Final-4 and how difficult it is to make three wins in a row: “We can’t see three games together. What we are looking at is to make a win. If we do this we will look at the next game ».

On failure and what he needs to do to improve them: “It is not easy to have such percentages in these games. Olympiacos’ defense is very good, one of the best in Europe. He has players like Goku, Lee, Wokap can play very good defense, Papanikolaou, McKisik and their tall play with great intensity. It’s not easy. And that’s why I think our rates are low. If you don’t hit the surprise to create open shots it is very difficult. “
