Barca’s win in Vitoria again showed the team’s quality and although they had to work hard for the win, coach Xavi Pascul expressed his satisfaction with his players, insisting: “I can find no fault with them”.
Here are Coach Pascual’s post-match comments:
“We started the game badly in defence and they were doing well.
The quick scoring didn’t help us”.
“We were shooting better and finding it easier to score in the second quarter and we
dominated in the third, controlling the rebound and much improved in defence – we looked more
solid. The fact that we kept them at a distance though really helped us – that was
decisive”.
“It’s true that we received a lot of points in the first quarter, they got six
points on the run from counter attacks and we can’t let that happen. That said, there were
other moments when we defended well, like when Basile defended Carl English’s three
pointer”.
“It’s a big thing to win here – they’ve not lost for two years at
home”
“Both teams showed a lot of mental toughness and a focus on today’s game, without
getting distracted by Tuesday. We played at the limit of our possibilities”.
