This is how Coach Peppe Poeta commented on the match in Dubai: “We showed up on the field with an overly passive approach, so we made a team full of talent gain confidence and rhythm, which is exactly what we shouldn’t have done. Then we also came back a couple of times, we got closer and in attack ours was a good game because we shared the ball, played together, so much so that we had five players in double figures and three with nine. But our defensive performance is not the one with which you can win a EuroLeague match, especially on the road.”
