The coach is satisfied: "Keep going like this. Tiredness? It doesn't exist". Ivanovic: "Beautiful simple game. Too bad about the balls lost at the beginning"

Stronger than the opponents, than tiredness, the Virtus wins and takes the lead in the championship. Satisfied with the victory but also with the response of the team coach Dusko Ivanovic "I'm happy, it was a great victory, we played well, in attack and defense. However, I would like to underline the 8 turnovers in the first half, for me the most beautiful basketball is undoubtedly the simple one".

Then, always seraphic, the Montenegrin coach answers the question about the fatigue accumulated by the team after the double round of Euroleague and the challenge with Cremona. "Simple, tiredness does not exist". Among the protagonists of the challenge Toko Shengelia top scorer for the Bianconeri with 15 points. "We knew that Cremona has excellent players who know how to score, the game could change at any moment; we needed to be focused and we were solid both in defense and in attack. My return to the championship? I feel good and then it's always a pleasure to play with my teammates and do it in front of the fans".

Another protagonist Isaiah Cordinier: "It was important to approach this game with the right mentality after the long week of Euroleague. We had to play and win with conviction and we did it. Shengelia? His return is a pleasure for us, he is an important player, his talent can be seen on the court".

But there is not even time to rest for the Virtus who will return to the field on Thursday in Euroleague, again at the Segafredo Arena, against Monaco.
