Svetislav Pesic pointed out that Barcelona’s season deserves more credit and respect, despite tonight’s loss against Anadolu Efes at the press conference that followed the game.

“Yesterday, at the pre-game press conference, in which Barca had a lot of time to prepare for the third Euroleague game and there were only one Barca TV journalist and one radio girl. This is the respect we get for our year. We won the Copa Del Rey, we are first in the ACB league, we beat the favorites, we won the second game in the Euroleague playoffs. We need respect”, Pesic mentioned.

As for outside influence, the Barcelona coach was clear that it doesn’t affect his team: “If you ask me directly what I think, you are lucky that I haven’t seen websites or newspapers. There is only what I think about the game. I am not interested in the influence of outsiders -well, I’m interested but I don’t care- and won’t affect the players. My job is to find new mental and physical strength and I believe in my players. I’m sure tonight that team wasn’t us. In a very long season, this can happen.”
