Regal Barça coach, Xavi Pascual, has spoken about how important it was to end a three-week period of away trips with a perfect record.
“We are pleased to win seven road games in a row”, he told the press at the Pisuerga. Regal Barça had just won 59-73 against Valladolid based Blancos.
The following is what the Barça coach had to say after the game.
“We are happy to win because we know how hard it is to win here. They have a very good home record”.
“We started the game well and with intensity. It was a good first period. The second was closer but not in terms of the score. We started well in the third but they caused problems with their defensive changes and that changed the pace of the game. But we made sure of our lead in the final period”.
“Blancos de Rueda Valladolid have plenty of resources. They are having an extraordinary season and are very well coached”.
“We didn’t let them play their classic counter-attack game. We did what we wanted to do”.
“We didn’t want them to make long throws because they can add 60 or more points to their score”.
Next up Partizan
After Terence Morris, Erazem Lorbek was the second best player of the match. The Slovenian centre
scored 17 points and had four rebounds (18 evaluation).
“We are tired but now we have to think about the next game with Partizan and we need to stay on form”, said Lorbek after the game with Blancos de Rueda. They now only have a few days before turning the page and ensuring they have home court advantage in the quarter finals of the Euroleague.
