For the victory over Olympiacos: “It was a great game, the kids played very concentrated, with great character, played our game for 40 minutes. We won a great team, my second home. Congratulations to the whole body of Monaco. We worked hard on spiritual preparation, after qualifying for Barcelona we worked for the match against Olympiacos, so we lost two league matches. I don’t know if it’s a matter of pressure management for Olympiacos, I’m not a coach of Olympic but Monaco.
OR Fenerbahce It is another team, different, another great team, playing different from Olympiacos. We need to change the chip and run a different plan. The job is not over for us. It was a big step towards a huge opponent, which for me is more than a group. In my first Final 4 As a coach, the fate was able to play with Olympiacos. It wasn’t easy for me, I had to get ready too spiritually. I saw the whole world applaud me. But thumbs up to my players. “
For Fournier and his crying: “He’s a great player, just like Sasha and Papanikolaou. Sasha is my good friend, friend and my husband. We had a shot for Evan, Alpha made his life difficult, but he is a great player and scored a lot. “
