Perasovic: “We were willing and concentrated from the beginning of the match…”

Defeating Fenerbahçe 82-74 at the Integral Forex Turkey Cup and printing its name to semifinals, Anadolu Efes coach Velimir Perasovic stated his thoughts at the post-game press conference:

“Today’s match was tough and hard for both teams. I believe we deserved to win the match because we were willing and concentrated from the beginning. This victory was our first against Fenerbahçe in this season. It was important for us… The key to the victory was the offense rebounds as because these rebounds gave us a chance for a second shoot today. Also, I would like say something other than the match. In my opinion the two teams those in the top two should pair up in the league. Only one of the two teams those fight in 15 matches and sharing the top 2 gets into the semifinals and the other team is out of the league. In some countries, the top 4 teams pair up with other teams, may be the federation can consider this. Though this is only my opinion…”

Anadolu Efes’s successful player Can Maxim stated his thought in the conference as: “It was a tough game. It was a tough match up. We played very well from the beginning of the game. We made a good defense especially. We played a confident offense because of the energy we gained from the defense. We didn’t make a mistake in the critical times of the match. We are happy that we have won. We have Pınar Karşıyaka match next. We would like to be the champion step by step…”
