Mumbru: Virtus needs to return to its best level

Virtus Bologna head coach Alex Mumbru spoke at the post-match press conference following his team's EuroLeague defeat to Efes. Mumbru said the team could not work out how to bring its energy onto the court at the start of the game.

Mumbru noted that his side conceded 60 points in the first half, which he said made it very difficult to make up for in the second half. He said they played better in the third and fourth quarters, but that the opponent scored important baskets, which prevented his team from having a real chance to win.

Mumbru stressed that Virtus must return to its best level. He said the performance must be shown from the start of the game and not only in certain moments, adding that this is not acceptable. Reminding his players that Trento, Panathinaikos and Valencia games lie ahead, Mumbru said the schedule is demanding and underlined that the focus will be only on the next game. He noted that the next opponent is Trento.
