Sakota: “I’m not disappointed-unfortunately we don’t have the same changes as Malaga”

In Malaga’s depth difference the Dragan Sakota for the AEK’s defeat in BCL’s Final 4.

“It was a fantastic atmosphere. People have given us the energy to win. We knew that we had a difficult task and that we had to scratch several things we are lagging behind. Malaga had many aggressive rebounds, we have many mistakes and eventually had 19 possessions. As the game went, it seemed to have an advantage, but Malaga has the ability to use 12 players, which change every 3-4 minutes. I’m not disappointed. Of course I’m not happy when we lose. We made a lot of mistakes, Malaga plays a lot of aggressive defense and can destroy your game. We found some solutions, but it wasn’t enough. Our mistakes were the result of both the pressure of Malaga and our own excitement and fatigue. When you make mistakes you may look stupid but somewhat come from mistakes“, He stressed.

“We had a difference that was easily lost in 2-3 offensive rebounds. This helped Malaga get more easily recover. Our changes are not the same as our opponents. We have what we have. There is also a difference of experience. Not a single player of ours had a Final 4 experience. The ticket is expensive when you first go there. I hope my players have more such games, the improvement comes afterwards. It is not easy to lose a game you could win, but we exceeded the limits we set at the beginning of the season. It’s great success and I would like people to come to the next game and to support us again“, He added.
