Virtus Bologna, Sergio Scariolo does not give up Teodosic

The words of Sergio Scariolo

Coach Scariolo spoke in a press conference after the match with Olympiacos.

“Olympiacos is a great team, with top European players and a solid mentality. However, I am really proud of the character of my players: we lost but they showed pride and character, even when they were down in the score. Coaches and players can make mistakes but I don’t remember, based on my experience, so many mistakes by referees in a last minute of a game. I have nothing to say about the character of my team, of course they made mistakes but they gave everything. Teodosic’s ejection? Milos is Milos, we take him for the great things he does and we take him when he gets a little nervous, we can’t and we don’t want to change him, we take him as he is. Tonight is hard to swallow: a bad series of numerous coincidences in the end of the game. We are rookies, we have to know how to swallow. Tonight we grabbed more rebounds, we made more assists, there are many positive things: some players gave several positive signs. We would have liked to go out with a full smile but there are reasons to consider tonight a positive one.”
