Virtus Bologna ko, Luca Banchi bitter: “The ending screams revenge”

A defeat that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

Virtus Bologna bent 79-81 at home by Panathinaikos, in a very open Euroleague challenge decided only in the final. And just the ending leaves a strong regret in Luca Banchi, who at the end of the game praised the team for the comeback while underlining però also the gravity of the final mistake, crucial for the defeat.

"We produced an effort and a quality of play that would have deserved a different ending,” Banchi stressed.

I want to congratulate Panathinaikos for the wonderful game they played, forò our last attack screams revenge. We cannot afford to make mistakes already committed in the past. And our comeback, considering the lower number of our possessions, è was incredible. We must però make every energy we have available to the team".

" Even when Panathinaikos did not commit any mistakes, all our eleven on the court fought on every ball. On offense we must però try to be cynical and precise when we have advantages, going to take advantage of favorable situations. This è happened when Dobric è went to score from three, but in the next action we didn't do it", Banchi noted.
