The Villeurbanne coach returned to his team’s defeat this Wednesday evening against Maccabi Tel-Aviv (91-94).
Gianmarco Pozzecco (Villeurbanne coach, after the defeat this Wednesday against Maccabi Tel-Aviv): “I am very sad because we are unable to win at home. We gave everything but we clearly have to be better defensively. Since I have been here we have won two Euroleague away matches because we defended very well at the end and that is where it comes down to it. We were more or less good but in the end it was pretty terrible and unacceptable. We didn’t have a big percentage offensively, we played well, we shared the ball well but the problem tonight is defensive. We have to convince ourselves that we can defend better. Offensively, we are much better, we have progressed with our team made of offensive talents. It’s enough to win in the French championship and perhaps to be competitive in order to win certain matches in the Euroleague but not enough to be consistent. We weren’t so bad tonight but much too bad in the last five minutes to hope to win in the Euroleague.
