Malaga, Mar 15 (EFE) .- The Unicaja coach, the Greek Fotis Katsikaris, said on Monday that Barcelona, the rival they will visit on Tuesday in the postponed match of the twenty-fifth day of the Endesa League, “is one of the the best in Europe “and that as the games go by” he plays better. “
“It is a very physical team, with a lot of talent, very deep,” said the Greek coach at a press conference, who made it clear that there are three important concepts to compete against Barcelona: “concentration, energy during the 40 minutes and physical” .
The coach pointed out that as soon as they fail in some of these three facets they will have “very few options” to win, although he also pointed out that it will be important in the game that they have “a good day in attack”, in addition to “not losing balls. “.
Katsikaris, on the Barcelona squad, pointed out that he should not single out one player in particular, although he said that US guard Cory Higgins “was spectacular in the Cup and did a lot of damage” when they met in the quarterfinal tie, but that ” It’s not just him, it’s the whole team. “
On that recent precedent of the Copa del Rey, where Unicaja fell in extra time after an end of regulation time with arbitration controversy, Katsikaris differentiated that match from the one that will be played on Tuesday because “the Cup is a short tournament” in which they surprised the rival, but the one in the league is going to be difficult the surprise factor because Barça already has “that experience.”
