BOZZI, GIOVANNI

Spirou Basket

"We are very disappointed tonight, because I hoped for a reaction from my guys after three defeats. Some players must score in my team, but they missed their mission. I don’t know if it's a question of confidence, like our percentage on free throws in the first half, finishing 10 points behind. We were short of enthusiasm in the second half and Spartak controlled the rebounds. It's difficult to retain anything positive, except 20 good minutes for Tabu, who came back from an injury. At the present time, we don't have the level of this competition."

SHERF, ZVI

Spartak St Petersburg

"This victory is very important for us, maybe the key for qualification. At the same time, Bilbao won, so that’s another satisfaction. We played well in offense in the second and the third quarters. It was enough, but I can't explain what happened in the last one. We must improve in the next games, even if our defense was good tonight with only 50 points allowed to our opponent."
