Defeating Italy’s EA7 Emporio Armani Milan 90-86 at the 22nd week match of Turkish Airlines Euroleague, Anadolu Efes coach Velimir Perasovic stated his thoughts at the post-game press conference:
“We have watched a match that it’s first half and the second half has been completely different from each other. We have missed two-three simply shoots at the beginning of the game. Our players were downing mentally as because the rival team scored continues points. We have lost our aggression and the downing continued when score difference was growing. EA7 Emporio Armani Milan dominated the first half of the match completely. We have shown ourselves within the second half and played better. We returned with our better offense and played aggressively. The whole team put an effort but our captain Doğuş was one of the names who cleared the bad image within the first half. I am happy that we have won, this victory is very precious for us but if we want to play in the play-offs we have to think about the mistakes we have done at the beginning of the game and we are not supposed to repeat them…”
