Barça coach Joan Peñarroya, acknowledged this Friday, after the defeat against Unicaja (59-81) that forced the third match of the quarterfinal qualifier of the Endesa League, which his team signed “the worst game of the year at the Palau (Blaugrana).”
“From the beginning we have gone to tow, they have surpassed us in all the situations of one, they have run us easily, they have been physically superior,” said the Egarense coach as some of the keys to the result.
And it is that at all times Peñarroya avoided looking for “no excuse”, recognizing that the Malaga team surpassed them “on both sides of the track”, beyond prominent performances such as the Kendrick Perry base (15 points) and the pivot Olek Balcerowski (14).
“It has been our worst game of the year as an annotation. We have not had any option to take advantage. They have surpassed us in many aspects, in paint, in trays …”, valued the Barca coach.
On the whistles and scarves that the fans showed at the end of the party, Peñarroya said that, although they do not like, “they have every right to express their disagreement.”
In addition, despite the mistake from the perimeter (5/24 in triples), the Barca coach recalled that his team is the “best percentage of triple has throughout the Endesa League.”
Despite the defeat, Peñarroya preferred “to make blur and new account”, aware that the time to recover is “limited” and that the tie will be decided this Sunday.
“Today is a drama, I repeat, but we are going 1-1 and on Sunday you have to play a game that we both know that the one who loses goes on vacation,” said the Egarense coach.
