"Neftchi" basketball team, which lost in the first match of the FIBA European Cup main stage, must work on mistakes."
Idman.Biz reports that Vitali Stepanovski said this in his statement to the club's press service.
The specialist shared his thoughts on the match in Poland where they lost to "Trefl" (63:92): "It was a historic game for our club. Because it was the first time we were playing in the European Cup. Unfortunately, we lost. The beginning and end of the game did not go as we wanted, it did not work out so well for us. From the beginning of the match, we gave the opponent a 12-point lead. After that, we tried to reduce the point difference throughout the game. I can say that we played well for 30 minutes. But as I mentioned, the beginning and the end did not go well for us."
Stepanovski emphasized that they should look ahead: "We must analyze and work on mistakes so that we don't repeat them in the next games."
