Defeating France’s AS Monaco team 86-74 in the 14th week of the THY Euroleague, Fenerbahçe Beko head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius made a statement after the match.
HERE ARE JASIKEVICIUS’ WORDS:
He was good in defense. The opponent remained at 29 points and I am very happy in this sense. We need to move forward by building on this. We have a league match ahead of us. This is really important. We also need to be very good in the Turkish League. It is a very important opportunity for our work. The next match in the THY Europa League is against Zalgiris. Zalgiris is a play-off team and it is always difficult to play against them.
We need to work and fight together. I would love to improve everyone. The important thing is that we can be successful as a team. The last 24 hours have been crazy. I don’t know if I’m in Asia or Europe right now, I’m lost. It is difficult for me to make a major contribution in such a short time. You all know Itoudis’ level, so we played with small touches without making too many changes. We talked to the team that the rebound numbers were not good and the other team should not have shot more than us. Thanks to the offensive rebounds, we had the chance to have more ball.
