“We can no longer speak of a surprise effect” (Euroleague)

Yakuba Ouattara, Paris fullback, after the victory (83-77) against Kaunas: “Now we can no longer talk about the surprise effect: five big wins against five big teams, it’s crazy. In the state of mind, the fact that we are fighting, defensively, everyone is extremely focused, it is hard for the other teams. The guys who come back are starving to death and it never stops. We mark this start of the season with our presence. We were there to gain respect and we are gaining it little by little. The play-offs, we’re not there yet. We must continue in the same vein. »
