Sergio Scariolo satisfied with Euroleague win against Valencia

Virtus Bologna coach Sergio Scariolo, said he was very satisfied after the Bologna team’s victory over Valencia (89-59), in the match valid for the eighth day of the Euroleague.

“Finally we played 40 minutes of good basketball on both sides of the parquet. Of course we had a couple of small collapses, but overall it was a tough, solid game. We shared the ball, we played good defense, we pressed on everyone, we were closed with every player that was on the floor. We have to continue on this path and try to keep playing like we did today,” explained the Black Vu coach in the press conference.

“We played well, especially on defense. When we better understand the mechanisms of the game, how to keep concentration as well as communication we will increase both the defensive and offensive phases, an aspect that is already very present especially individually.We still have to grow on some aspects so it is physiological that some time is needed,” continued Scariolo.

“I was curious to see how the players involved with the national teams would return, but the response has been outstanding despite some fatigue: they trained with a lot of intensity yesterday and a lot of concentration this morning. We know that in a day and a half, even two, we can prepare a match and be ready,” the Spanish national team’s technical commissioner later stressed.
