FC Barcelona I think we set the tone from the first moment. We were very physical, very serious defensively. Offensively, we lacked a little bit of patience, like we spoke at halftime, too many turnovers the whole day. It helped that some of the players really had a very good, calm performance, which got us into some good stuff, and we found some solutions. For sure, this is something to understand for the players, how difficult it is to go to the Final Four. But at the same time, a club like Barcelona has to be there more times, and this is what we will try to do. We will try to build something here and hopefully, we can make it more years in a row.
FC Barcelona Congratulations to Xavi [Pascual] and congratulations to Zenit. I think they came out into the game with very clear ideas about how they wanted to play. They were a lot more solid than we were, especially defensively. I think our first half, defensively, was very, very bad. We cannot start the playoffs in this matter. Even when we tried to recuperate the lead and at some point, we tied the game, at the same time, it was not enough. Zenit, at the end, hit a lot of difficult shots and overall, probably deserved to win the game. We dug ourselves in a hole and now, it is up to us to get out from it. Honestly, I didn t expect this. I didn t expect to come out like this. I am disappointed and the best news today is that we have a little time to correct the difficult situation we are in. This can clearly happen in playoffs, we are playing against a very good team.
