Fenerbahçe Beko head coach Igor Kokoskov, who lost 75-71 to Bayern Munich in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague game four, said he performed very poorly in the second half. Kokoskov, in the press conference held after the match, said they were sad about the performance in the second half, “There were two different images. Our real image in the first half completely disappeared in the second half. He said and added:
‘If you lose 20 points ahead, the responsibility lies entirely with the coach’
“It was a difficult game and a bad defeat. I really regret the performance in the second half. There were two different halves. The first half is our real face, the second half is completely gone. We were very good on defense and attack, but we lost energy. I have a very strong conviction, said one of my mentors: “If you lose 20 points ahead, the responsibility lies entirely with the coach.” I take full responsibility. I am behind my team. We feel very bad tonight. We all do our best for Fenerbahçe. There are logical explanations for winning and losing. We must analyze well where we are with our hearts and brains. We have a very long season ahead of us. Congratulations to Bayern Munich, but we have to learn from it.
‘As a coach I had to take responsibility and regain momentum’
“There were too many offensive rebounds in the second half. We were physically inadequate and they dominated this area. We could die more physically, suffer harder faults. We don’t play hard enough. We had to improve. We were defending on both sides, we never attacked. We were passive in this area. We need to be more determined. (The difference between the two halves) We were absolutely tired. As a coach, I would never point to or blame my players. As a coach, I had to take responsibility and regain momentum. (On Jan’s acting) I always protect my actors. Jan took too long tonight. It gave the fans that they watched on television very good moments. He plays very tough and brave, with his great energy. Although Jan is the heart of the team, we have to play well as a group. “
