And before falling at the Movistar Arena, the Turkish team was already coming from lose on Tuesday against Valencia by 86-78.

After the defeat in Madrid, Jasikevicius pointed out a much deeper problem than a simple bad game: “We don’t have an identity as a team,” Saras told EuroLeague TV. “We’re just a bunch of big names.”

According to the Lithuanian coach, individual quality will not be enough for Fenerbahçe to reach its full potential.

“We have to find a way to play as a team,” he continued. “Obviously, individually we can do a lot of things, but that’s not what’s going to give us the result. We have to find a way to play as a team.”

Next week, Fenerbahçe will face another Spanish team, the Baskoniabut this time at home.
