Alexander Vezenkov believes that he was not at the expected level in the semi-final between Olympiacos and Monaco in the Euroleague. Giorgos Bartsokas' team suffered a 68:78 defeat at the “Etihad Arena“ in Abu Dhabi.
The Bulgarian national team finished with a modest 7 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals in 34 minutes of play.
According to information from the Greek media, he deactivated his Instagram account after the defeat of the “red-and-whites” by the “Monegasques”, BNT reported.
“Such is sport. Right now I feel empty. We didn't play well, I can't talk about basketball now. We all wanted it a lot, we didn't respond to what I had to respond to. Monaco's players played harder than us, they showed that they want it more than us and deserved to win“, commented Vezenkov.
“We didn't play well, we only have 10 assists, we made bad decisions, made a lot of mistakes and allowed them easy points on defense“, he added.
“I wasn't who I should have been, but we can't turn back time. I can't do anything right now. I wanted it so much, I know we disappointed our fans who believed in us all season. We have to recover. We all believed that we would reach the final", said Alexander Vezenkov.
"Our ultimate goal is now the title in Greece and we have to finish the season in a good way", explained the winger.
