In the state of mind, the fact that we are fighting, defensively, everyone is extremely focused, it is hard for the other teams. The guys who come back are starving to death and it never stops. We mark this start of the season with our presence. We were there to gain respect and we are gaining it little by little. The play-offs, we’re not there yet. We must continue in the same vein. »
Bandja Sy, inside Paris: “We approach matches in the right way, we focus on what we have to do to win, we try to impose our rhythm, Euroleague teams are not used to that. We try to apply the game plan as best we can. These are just very close matches, we have to know how to manage the end of matches, make the right choices, we have the players for it and the experience, even if not many of us have experienced the Euroleague. »
“Every defeat is hard to take”
Andrea Trinchieri, coach of Kaunas
