Aza Petrovic comments on the clear knockout of his Carpegna Prosciutto Pesaro with Reyer Venezia in the first quarter-final of these Final Eights of Supercoppa Discovery + 2021.
«When you play a game like this, and I’m referring to the first 20 ‘, you can say many things, but to be objective everything starts from my choices. We are in clear difficulty because in many positions we lack quality. This is evident when playing with teams of this level. You need awareness in admitting the mistake in building the team ».
«We played with Brindisi, Venice and Virtus. In some positions we are poor in quality, and for this we suffer a lot. I do not hide the mistake, which is all mine. Let’s see if it is possible to fix it, if we can avoid suffering like this. This is the meaning of the first 20 ‘».
«In the sense of time of the guys with less quality, I think of Camara, we put more energy. But given the result, it counts for a lot ».
Regarding these shortcomings: «In the direction, but also in the position of 4. In that role we need a second play, and we don’t have one. We are a two-player team, but up to now we have not built anything in this sense ».
“Now it depends on my confrontation with society. It is best for all of us to think and say what is evident. In certain positions we are scarce ».
We are therefore talking about returning to the market: «It’s a coach’s reflection. I have 30 years of experience to know what is missing. On the 6th there is Trieste, then Tortona, speaking of home games: there you will need to be ready, because if you enter a negative dynamic. Besides, this is not an easy championship ».
Are they overestimated players? «When building a team, a club like us has to make different choices with respect to the budget. But today I have to say that we are poor in positions 1 and 4. When you are not creating an advantage, it is very difficult to play. I’m responsible, not Ario Costa or anyone else, it’s me. But it is right to clarify it immediately. This is my position, and I will repeat it in society ».
