He is in a competitive crisis Aris Betssonwho on Tuesday night (21/10) lost in Alexandrio to Manresasuffering their fourth straight defeat and fifth in their last six league and EurCup games.
The technician of the “yellows”, Bogdan Karajcic, he stated, among other things, at the press conference that his team is quite soft and that this should be changed immediately, while he also referred to the strong disapproval heard after the end of the match by Aris’ friends.
In detail what he said:
“We approached the game without harshness and it went the way we wanted. We didn’t play well. We wanted to hit the defense in some miss matches but we didn’t succeed in duration.
Jones, Forbes did not play in the last seven minutes because I judged that other players were better suited for the defensive rotation. We wanted more toughness and concentration in defense and some other players were more effective in that area. With this criterion I decided.
We have to play harder. We have players with character to show. Let’s be tough and do it over time. They fight but we don’t fight as a team and that has to change. From the beginning of the season I asked for toughness and I wanted consistency in that area… It’s something we have to change and it’s my job that they show their character and become tougher. Obviously it’s an issue we have in the team and I need to find the right people to change it.
Our job is to make our fans happy but we let them down. I understand the disapproval. Obviously it is something that is not positive, but I understand it and it is normal in the professional space based on our image and the results. I have to find solutions to get them extra motivation. Sometimes boos are motivating, but sometimes they stress players out more. I understand the pressure and the frustration because the way we play and the defeats are not acceptable. It is also my responsibility to change it.”
