Coach Dusko Ivanovic spoke in the postgame of Virtus Bologna-Dubai: “After the 10-day break due to the national team break and in conjunction with the change of arena we can say that this was an even more important game to win. I think we started well, ready to play a game of grit and toughness, given the value of our opponents. Only from the second quarter we experienced moments when we lacked energy and the necessary focus. However, then from the second half we put back the energy we needed to get back into the game. Thanks to the patience we showed in the last moments, we achieved this important final victory”.

“Akele? He started tonight because I have great confidence in him, especially on defense. At first he struggled to get back into the rotation because he was back from an injury earlier that did not allow him to be in the best shape at the beginning of the season, but now he has achieved it”.

“Satisfied with the grit and focus? This is the first sign of a good team. This was a game won point-to-point: there will be games that we win or lose point-to-point, but the important thing was to show that we can get out of these situations and this tells us that we are a good team”.
