Reyer eliminated, Neven Spahija: “This way is difficult.”
The words of Neven Spahija
Coach Neven Spahija spoke in a press conference after the loss to Vilnius, which è cost Reyer Venezia elimination from the EuroCup: "I would like to congratulate them on the victory, especially the last quarter. They had more energy and freshness than us, they scored on their shots. We were short in rotations, few players available, and also I don't think we played our basketball well. Also the difference in rebounding, the 16 offensive allowed to them, I think are related to the problems of rotations today".
"I honestly feel sorry for the situation, but we found ourselves in February having the team that we wanted since August and after three games we lost everything again. It è not easy for me. It è not an excuse, but soè it è difficult to organize a basketball team. We won the first three quarters and lost soè the last quarter, it means a lot" then admitted the coach of the orogranata.
"I don’t know what to say, I don’t know what happened. All I can say is that if I had the full team like in the last three games, surely we were winning more games. Now it canò be just an excuse, but for me è thatì. I am so sorry that I had to face the game in this condition. Games are won and lost, but losing without players and not even training è different".
"This è also a problem for Saturday’s game, we don’t know who will be able to play. Today some played 30, 35 minutes: normally we do not do such rotations but we were forced" concluded Spahija.
