Virtus Bologna beaten by Bayern, Luca Banchi doesn’t hide disappointment

Luca Banchi chews bitterly on his Virtus Bologna’s defeat

It's a rather bitter Luca Banchi who spoke after the 84-87 loss between his Virtus Bologna and Bayern in the sixth day of the basketball Euroleague. A result that forces the Felsinei to deal with the last position in the continental competition, tied with Olimpia Milano and Alba Berlin.

"Tough game, tough defeat, game decided at the last possession – said the coach of the Black Vu’s. We started very well, then Bayern è came back down and controlled second and third quarter, using our mistakes in their favor. Then we came back well in the game and Bayern è was more precise in handling the last possessions than we".

"Sometimes we should also play with an ounce of recklessness,” he added, “in some moments I saw resignation that then è disappeared completely. We have to build our DNA that gives us the strength to react in situations like tonight, against talented opponents. At the beginning of the third quarter we thought we would get caught up in the eagerness to recover: we have to have determination and balance, we have all the qualities to do that. We had turned it over completely, giving the feeling that we had it completely in hand".

"We are commenting on a defeat, again, in a sprint, in a game in which we had found the strength to turn it around. Tonight, despite the’emergency, we went and found a way to put this game back on its feet: we keep confidence and awareness in our means" concluded Banchi.
