BARCELONA, 9 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Barça coach, Roger Grimau, was clear after losing against Olympiacos at the Palau Blaugrana (59-63), in the last duel of the ‘Playoffs’ and being left out of the Euroleague Final Four, and assured that it was a day “tough” and to “be screwed” for going ahead until the last 5 minutes, when the lack of success cost his team dearly.
“It’s a hard day, one of being screwed. A very tight game that was decided in the last quarter with those three-pointers with which they took an advantage from which we were not able to get back. On the sidelines, thank the Palau for how they have been, He knows very badly that it has gone the way it has,” he said at a press conference.
For Grimau, in a match so close to so few points, suddenly finding himself down on two occasions almost in a row with three-pointers from Olympiacos was too much. “Those small advantages in such a tight score make a big difference,” he noted.
“On a defensive level we have been good almost the entire game, we have lacked success and we have taken a good volume of shots from 3 but without success. We have lacked knowing how to find situations better,” acknowledged the coach.
“With today’s result, everything is truncated and everything I can say today makes no sense. Having reached this point and not having qualified for the Final Four, I can only say that everything has been very difficult and has been decided by small things “, summarized.
And he regretted having missed the opportunity to win in the first game, in the fourth and in this one. “The Palau has been exceptional, once again. It feels infinitely bad not to have given them the victory and the classification, because the people deserve it one hundred percent. Olympiacos has used its weapons very well and we were just a hair away from being able to achieve it “, argument.
After the European elimination, he wants a change of chip and give everything in the Endesa League. “Now to continue with the Endesa League and play the ‘Play-off’ and go for it. At this time, having lost, it is hard and we are annoyed but we have no choice but to get up and look for our best version for the end of the season. I hope this makes us grow and be better,” he said.
