This is how Ettore Messina commented on the game against Olympiacos:
\n\u201cCongratulations to Olympiacos. We played a hard-fought game against a Final Four-caliber team, and that is the positive takeaway. Everyone will talk about the last possession, but there were many things we could have done better to win. We accept the result.\u201d<\/p>\n
The red-and-white coach then addressed the topic of officiating:
\n\u201cI\u2019ve been here for six years and have never talked about referees. In the game against Bayern, at one point they awarded possession to us, and Mirotic admitted to touching the ball, saving the German coach from using a challenge. Today, he was treated like a EuroLeague rookie before losing his composure, and we were treated like EuroLeague rookies as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
He then refused to elaborate further:
\n\u201cI don\u2019t feel like giving money to EuroLeague. It doesn\u2019t deserve my money; I\u2019d rather donate it to charity.\u201d<\/p>\n
On yet another game lost in the final moments:
\n\u201cWe lacked clarity, the ability to slow down the pace and take a moment when the ball becomes very heavy. That doesn\u2019t come naturally to new teams, but we are working on it. It\u2019s not just about offensive possessions but defensive ones as well. For some, these are youthful or inexperienced mistakes. We are working on them, and I am confident we will do better.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
