Ponsarnau: "Satisfied by the effort, dissatisfied by the mental gaps"

18/10/2019

The coach of Valencia Basket has highlighted after the defeat against Anadolu Efes that “we have started with a good mentality, that has allowed us in the first part to have the initiative on the scoreboard. We always found something, some rebounds or some fastbreak points to keep us above. The third quarter has been very bad, it has been the only one we have lost. Here I believe that we have not succeeded in managing the energies. They have played very comfortable, they have found the corners and triples and that has done us a lot of damage. This can happen when you play against great teams like them. Then they have begun to find a basket in penetration and with the pick and roll. This can happen when you play against teams as good as this. What I don't like is that we have made the same mistake again in bad times. Someone is wrong in the system, in the communication, because we are not yet mature, we still have many things. I am satisfied with the effort of the team, with the things that we have improved. But dissatisfied by these mental gaps we had during the game”
