Virtus Bologna knocked out, Sergio Scariolo bitter: “Ran out of gas.”

A defeat that matured after a long balance, and explained in clear words at the end of the game.

Virtus Bologna defeated in the Euroleague in Valencia, where the hosts managed to prevail with a final score of 79-68. For the ‘Black Vu’, Ojeleye’s 21 points were not enough to stay in the game, and Sergio Scariolo tried to explain what went wrong.

“During the first three quarters we played in a way that I liked,” Scariolo said in the Valencia aftermath of the game. “We managed to do some good things, although there were some mistakes as well. Unfortunately, however, in the last period we ran out of gas.”

“Too many of our players were out, in particular the defections among the outside players had a great weight. In the last quarter Valencia’s energy was higher than ours, so their victory is well deserved. Now all we have to do is to think about the next one, since in less than 48 hours we have to play again in the league. Mannion took a knock and asked to be replaced. Tomorrow we will figure out what the problem is, hopefully nothing serious,” Scariolo concluded.
