By Stefan Acevski / info@eurohoops.net

Anadolu Efes played a very good game in Istanbul, defeating Virtus Bologna in 11th round of EuroLeague with a score of 103-91.

After the game, Pablo Laso, the home team’s coach, addressed the press, congratulating the team on the victory and commenting on Bruno Fernando’s injury.

“First of all, I congratulate my players for the victory. Frankly, it was a game we won thanks to our first-half performance. We played very solidly both offensively and defensively. The performances of Bruno Fernando and Collin Malcolm were particularly decisive. In the second half, Matthew Strazel and Jordan Loyd were very effective. However, at the end of the day, this was a victory we achieved as a team.

Everyone who played today contributed. Also, we are very happy to have Papa (Papagiannis) back with us. I think his presence adds stability to us both inside and outside. Of course, we can’t have a relaxed day after this victory. Bruno (Fernando) got injured and will have an MRI. I assume you’ll probably ask about his condition shortly. Naturally, he will be away from the courts for a while. But this is also part of basketball.”

Laso highlighted that Fernando told him he was feeling fine, but they would wait for the MRI results.

“I can’t say anything detailed about Fernando’s condition without the MRI. However, he told me he’s feeling fine. Of course, I’m fine too, but I can’t go out and play (laughs). Therefore, we will have to wait for the checks tomorrow.”
