Tomislav Mijatovic, Efes: 'We are going to have to put 40 minutes of great effort'
Tomislav Mijatovic, Efes head coach
"We are entering the second game of the double-round week. We are playing against an opponent who is playing a very good basketball in almost a full roster as we saw in their last game against Real Madrid. We are going to have to put 40 minutes of great effort on both ends of the floor and that’s gonna provide us high energy which can lead us to our ultimate goal which is to win the game. Again we are expecting a great support from our wonderful Sinan Erdem crowd."
Israel Gonzalez, ALBA head coach
"After overcoming many injuries, Efes has an incredibly deep roster with a lot of quality. Every player is able to score more than 20 points. So Anadolu Efes is known for their offensive strength. For sure, there is also the fact that away games in the EuroLeague are always very tough. That's why we're not expecting an easy game."
Ercan Osmani, Efes player
"While entering the last four weeks in Euroleague, after Olympiacos victory we are going to play against ALBA Berlin at home and want to win this game also. We will not stop fighting until the final buzzer of the last game. I hope we will win the ALBA Berlin game, too."
Martin Hermannsson, ALBA player
"The good thing about a double week is that you don't have much time to be frustrated after a loss. You have the chance to make up for it less than 48 hours later. We're excited to go up against one of the strongest teams in Euroleague and play in one of the coolest arenas to play in."
