Fenerbahçe Head Coach Sarunas Jasikevicius made evaluations in the press conference following their 78-68 victory over Virtus Bologna in the first week of the EuroLeague and commented on his team's performance.

Post-Match Congratulations and Initial Evaluations

Congratulating his players and fans, the head coach stated that an unusual and strange game was played. He expressed that they were not at a sufficient level in terms of emotion and energy.

Second Half Defense and Game Course

Mentioning that playing in front of the fans after a long time might have led to this situation, the experienced coach said that they conceded 30 points in the second half and will analyze what the problem was.

Victory Despite Difficulties

Emphasizing that winning was valuable despite playing with a low three-point percentage of 3-of-21, Jasikevicius stated that after falling behind, they changed their defense and found easy points.

Busy Schedule and Future Goals

Stating that there are long travels and many matches ahead of them, and that they cannot find enough time to prepare, the coach added that their identity will remain the same and they will come to the fore with defense rather than playing selfishly.
