Igor Kokoskov said:
“When you lose a match, it always leaves a bitter taste in the mouth, which we feel after this game. We knew that in the EuroLeague this year we would probably play with the best basketball team. Barcelona was a favorite when coming here. We fought, we fought, but more is needed to win such matches. It was a good test for us. Because I hope we will play with this team again. A very strong team based on physical struggle. We could not find an answer to that. We gave many offensive rebounds, they scored a lot in the painted area. They won through physical struggle.
On the other hand, we could not break the painted area in the attack. We penetrated, but we needed more physical play on both sides of the pitch. Congratulations to Barcelona in general. They played better today, they deserved to win. Fenerbahce fought, but not enough to close this match with a win.
Medically, we do not know the status of Vesely! We will have clearer information tomorrow. We do not know right now, we will learn tomorrow. “
