The coach of Barça Sarunas Jasikevicius highlighted the importance of defeating Zalgiris Kaunas in the twelfth day of the Euroleague despite the absences of Davies, Calathes, Higgins and Abrines.
“It’s the first time in my career that I can’t count on four starters. It is important to win these games without so many important players, “the Lithuanian coach said at a press conference.
The coach of Barça stressed that his team curdled a game “sensational at the offensive level”, although he acknowledged that initially “he was quite concerned” because “we did not start well in defense, we needed to be more physical in the contacts and be more plugged in.”
Asked about James Nnaji (August 14, 2004) and Rafa Villar (August 9, 2004), who became Barça’s youngest Euroleague debutants, the coach said that “They are good guys who are improving” and he hopes that the premiere “will help them work more knowing that at the minimum we are going to give them opportunities.”
“It is an unbeatable image for our club to finish with four boys from the quarry plus Oriola on the track. It’s very nice, a joyous moment for the coach and the fans, “said Jasikevicius.
