Barcelona’s head coach, Sarunas Jasikevicius, was proud of his team after the turnaround and victory in the King’s Cup final against Real Madrid.
Barcelona celebrated against Real Madrid with 64:59, although they had a minus of 16 points in the first half.
“Congratulations to the players and fans. I have never seen so many of them in the Cup.” This is very important for our club. We have been preparing for this match, but sometimes it is not easy. We were a little shocked at the start. It was the Euroleague defense. It was always changing. They put a tall player to guard our player. Maybe I didn’t prepare them well either. We have to be proud of the team’s reaction and how we suffered before we turned around, “said Jasikevicius, adding
“After the first quarter, our defense was excellent. We reduced them to low percentages. We wanted to win like that, to try to change the game. We were good at attacking in the second half. We need to celebrate this trophy.
The coach didn’t care at half time.
The result was not so important. I was worried about their facial expressions. I saw that no one was saying anything, neither on the bench nor on the field, and the playmakers were not listening to me. We were cold and needed a spark, which we found below. Every title is won with blood and sweat. Hats off to the boys, “Jasikevicius said.
