Julien Espinosa (Chalon coach)
“There is always a way to do better when you come out of a game at -27. Obviously, there was room to do things better. We played them by making different mistakes than usual. Mistakes that I did not expect. Finally, we did not suffer too much on the rebound (31 to 27 for ASVEL). I expected to be penalized more in this sector. But we weren’t able to move them and push them back on their defense as we had planned to do. Physically and technically, they locked us out. And we did not have the necessary resources to worry them. “
TJ Parker (Villeurbanne coach)
“The defeat in Strasbourg, we still have it through our throats because we know very well that, when we play at tonight’s level, we win the matches. We wanted to keep the intensity for 40 minutes. We did it tonight. We were serious from start to finish. Moustapha (Fall) played like a winner from the start of the match and it pushes everyone behind, it boosts. “
