Pascual: "We believed we could win"

The head coach of Panathinaikos Superfoods, Xavi Pacual stated after the end of the game against Unics Kazan:

"It was a difficult game for us. We knew before the game that all the teams in Europe, when they win a trophy, the cup, like us, have tremendous problems to win the next game in the EuroLeague. Yesterday Milan, today Brose Baskets. Okay, Maccabi played in Russia, but always all the teams after important trophies have incredible problems to win. And it was like this. We started the game without defense. I think it was the worst game in defense today. Only in the third quarter did we bring better defense, but it was our worst quarter in offense. But we did one good thing all game, we believed we could win. "
