To the disappointment of defeat is added anger.

Virtus Bologna still dry in the Euroleague, after the 68-71 home loss against Zalgiris Kaunas that corresponds to the third defeat of the season in the competition in as many games. But while Luca Banchi finds something for the team to work on, there are some aspects of the game on which there is no shortage of recriminations.

"The game è was really tough,” Banchi stressed in the press conference. “When the level è this, you can score or miss potentially decisive shots. That said, in the last few minutes there were some decisions by the referee that affected the end of the game".

However, Banchi wanted to compliment his Virtus Bologna: "The players determined my choices and took the court with an attitude that convinced me. The signals they gave me are the right ones, in Lyon there was a reaction and tonight è it came too. I saw guys on the field who refused to lose for the third time in a row, and we showed again and again that we can play".

In the end, forò, è came the defeat. "Commenting on such a game è really complex. In the first two quarters we suffered their physicalityà, then forò we understood that against such intensity; you need just as much intensity;. If we then think about the last two minutes, forò, we can only dwell on the basket beyond 24 seconds and another decision on Cordinier", were the words of Banchi.
