Yasikevicius: “Stop shouting ” Euroleague Mafia ” – We are the champions of the… Euroleague”!

The coach of Fenerbahce, Sarunas Yasikeviciusspoke at a press conference after home defeat of his team from Dubai BC, as part of the 4th Euroleague match. This defeat was her third season and the second consecutive on the court.

The Lithuanian technician congratulated the opposing team and its coach, Zoran Golemachwhile he did not hide his disappointment for Fener’s image: ‘I would like to congratulate Dubai BC and coach Golemach for their victory. I also want to apologize to our fans -this is not the picture we want to show as Fenerbahce. Such a home appearance is unacceptable. I repeat, but we find it difficult to find solutions to the attack and our psychology is not where it should. The only positive is that we have another game in 48 hours to react”

Referring to the problems the team presents at the beginning of the quarters, he noted:

“I don’t know if you remember it, but that was a problem with the previous coach. When that happens, you look at the statistics to understand what is to blame. It’s been almost two years and we haven’t found a clear solution yet. Last year we were one of the worst teams in the first quarter. We know it, we discuss it with the players, but a solution has not yet been found”

Yasikevicius avoided commenting on arbitration:

“After such a game, talking about the referees simply exposes us. Wade is an emotional player – we know – but he has made great progress in controlling his emotions. Today was not his best appearance but I am not worried about his emotional control”

Finally, he appealed to Fenerbahce’s fans:

“I want to ask for something from our fans: Please stop shouting ” Euroleague Mafia ” during the games. It’s not right, especially since we are the Euroleague champions. When we played well and won the trophy last year, no one was shouting ” mafia ”. I will not comment on arbitration today, because the opponent simply overcame us“
