Svetislav Pesic explained after the big defeat in the EuroLeague “Clasico” what went wrong and Barcelona’s head coach recognized the superiority of Real Madrid.
“If you lose one game, it doesn’t matter if it’s in the EuroLeague or ACB, against Real Madrid you get disappointed. But from disappointment you get nothing. We can’t cry but it was a different game today. We missed everything in everybody. We let Madrid play with ease and that can not be allowed with a full arena. Before the game, we had a fundamental plan to not allow easy points. Fouls are part of the game. The player who is not ready to play the game commit fouls. We have to show pride and use these games to improve physically, in transition and in rebounds, as played by Madrid tonight. You don’t lose a game in the first five minutes, but you can lose the rhythm of the game. And they improved their confidence in this time. Madrid was physically superior“, Pesic concluded.
On the other hand, the winner coach Pablo Laso showed how proud he was after his team’s reaction:”I can’t compare this game with Sunday’s one (ed.note: The Copa Del Rey final which Barcelona won).The other was a final, this one a regular league game. All games are worth something, you can learn and improve, but they are different matches. What worries me the most is my team. I focused on my team, I say it from the heart. I am not surprised by the work of my team, but I am happy to win in such a difficult court”.
