Making a statement at the press conference held after the match played at Ülker Sports and Event Hall, Jasikevicius started his words by congratulating his opponents.

‘We didn’t play like a team’

Apologizing to his opponents for the events that occurred at the end of the match, Jasikevicius said, “I apologize to the EuroLeague and Monaco for what happened in the last minutes and after the match. This is definitely not our situation. We should not create such a culture by looking for excuses. We did not play like a team and Monaco created a problem. We must take responsibility.” “Our playmakers could not create the necessary play. He tried to find solutions with the ball in his hand and this was a negative situation for us.” he said.

Stating that they should think positively, Jasikevicius said, “We still have a chance to go to the fifth match. We fought very well from the first match, we played very well and one of our best players was missing. Now we will look at what we were missing. We kept the ball in our hands a lot, we fought very well. They played very well. “Although it was a fateful match, we were more willing than them, but we made a lot of mistakes and were impatient,” he said.

Sasa Obradovic: “We played very smartly”

Monaco Head Coach Sasa Obradovic said that they played a very smart match. Stating that the result was very good for them, Obradovic said: “The most satisfying part is that we played very smartly compared to the other matches. I expected the second match to be in our favor, we used this advantage. The players who did not produce in the first match were good today. Not only the creators, but all the players are good.” He contributed. You cannot win otherwise against these fans in this environment. The 5th match will not be easy. We have learned how not to play and what to do in these 4 matches. We are playing better at home, we deserved the field advantage in the last match in the regular season. “We attacked smarter today. Fenerbahçe was better in rebounding, but we did not allow them to score easily in other areas. This showed that we are a team.”
