Trinchieri: We fought and played a great second half

Bayern Munich Coach Andrea Trinchieri speaks to the media after the home loss against Real Madrid.

“Congratulations to Real. We missed. They made. We missed a shot in the paint, they made a shot in the paint. We made a foul. I believe that we played a very good second half. A couple of plays didn’t help us, but we had a good fight. It was big for us that Othello Hunter did not come back because he was playing very well. He got hit in the head, it was a very tough foul, and he was dizzy so he could not play.”

“Congratulations to Real, they won a tough game. We had two different games. In the first half we were very bad. We allowed 30 points in the second quarter. But we regrouped and in the second half I believe we played a great game. We were able to change many things – energy, rebounding, be better at small and big things. We made a great run. But in the end, I believe it was one possession. We missed a shot under the basket, they passed the ball inside and it was a foul, two free throws. We lost on a single possession. It is sad but we fought and played a great second half.”
