Perasovic: “We played very bad and deserved this defeat...”

Defeated by Fenrbahçe 96-57 at the 28th-week away game of Spor Toto Basketbol Super League, Anadolu Efes head coach Velimir Perasovic stated his thoughts at the post-game press conference:

“First of all, I would like to apologize to our supporters. We have played a very bad game and we have deserved this heavy defeat. To me the match was ended within the first quarter. The remaining duration we have tried to play a good basketball. I would like to congratulate Fenerbahçe also. They played a good basketball, they are in a good condition. Our concentration was broken after Olympiacos series. Though this cannot be an excuse for the game we have played today.”

Anadolu Efes’s captain Doğuş Balbay also stated his thoughts as: “We have played the worst match since the beginning of the season. This is not an acceptable situation for us. This doesn’t suit us. We always spoke about fighting until the end but we couldn’t. This is a shame for us lose like this. We need to take precautions immediately. We need to pull ourselves together and go into the play-offs like that.”
