Virtus Bologna rout, Sergio Scariolo: “Heavy lesson.”

A heavy defeat, with a clear admission at the end of the game.

Virtus Bologna dominated in the Euroleague, with Olympiacos winning by the heavy score of 117-71. And at the end of the game Sergio Scariolo does not mince words in analyzing his team’s performance against an opponent that never allowed the ‘Black Vu’ to stay in the game.

“In the Euroleague the highest level is really high, and we suffered a heavy lesson. Facing a team that several times has hit the Final Four also means this,” Scariolo admitted. “But after evenings like that we are left with a lot to learn. That goes for all the players, but also for me as a coach. Correct consideration of who we are is necessary on everyone’s part.”

“This is a tough defeat. The one thing we have to tell everyone is that we are sorry. We owe it especially to the fans. But now it is necessary to start working again immediately to prepare for our next commitments,” Scariolo added.
