KATSIKARIS, FOTIS
Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar
"We played terribly in the first quarter. I believe the game was majorly lost in the first quarter. We lacked energy, speed and confidence. Ulm is a physically developed team, and they are good as a team, not as a set of names. Our rival had only one defeat beforehand – from Valencia. We tried everything that we could, tried to build a team spirit, but we have to play better. This is what any coach would say. It was very difficult to make a comeback trailing by 15. But we had a minus 11 and possession, but we failed to score and got a thre- pointer from the rival. Psychology is crucial in such moments."
