This is my job: coming to the office every morning and giving my all. I don\u2019t have an issue with winning or trophies; my problem is something else\u2014excessive competitiveness. I need to learn to be calmer,&#8221; Saras stated during the press conference following the 82-79 victory over Valencia Basket.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">&#8220;The point is, I\u2019m never satisfied, and that is a limitation. I try to stay composed, but I am just as competitive today as I was at the start of my career. I am well aware that this is one of my weaknesses. Of course, it\u2019s also one of my greatest strengths, but it remains a weakness nonetheless. So, I move forward: I show up to work and do my duty, now at Fenerbah\u00e7e just as I did before at Barcelona or \u017dalgiris. Everything we\u2019ve won so far belongs in a museum; now, the only thing that matters is trying to win again.
