Xavi Pascual: "MBA put us out of the game"

Zenit's head coach Xavi Pascual summed up the results of the away match against MBA-MAI (84:88), which ended with the victory of the blue-whites in the second overtime.

— It was a tough game, two overtimes. Did you expect a game like this?

— We were talking about this, that could be, and it was. In the beginning, MBA started very aggressively, on the limit in all the actions. We were out of the game, they put us out of the game. After that, we wanted to be back, we gave the confidence to MBA. It was very difficult to win. We can be happy because finally we won the game, but we cannot be happy because of the game. It's a little bit normal. I think if I'm not wrong, in four weeks we played nine games and sometimes it happens. We were not ready to play.
