Freddy Fauthoux (Blues coach): “We started very well, sharing the ball, finding good shots, but we relaxed. It's natural given the team's limited experience, and whether it's Cyprus or another nation, it doesn't give up. We were a little nervous at times, but we held them to eight points and if we had taken a few more open shots in the second half, we could have gone faster. (On the window assessment) The week is generally positive. We won both matches by starting with a group that we wanted to discover, players who had not yet played at this level, including young people that the world was watching, scouted by the NBA (Nolan Traoré and Noa Essengue). But we also saw players like Adam (Mokoka), who had a defensive impact, and Axel (Bouteille) on the other side with a big impact over two matches. In February, we will have to build a team with this group and the Euroleague players. We will start to think about a slightly more complementary group. »
