Ante Tomic expressed his concern about Barcelona's poor start in Madrid

Ante Tomic appeared before the press with a serious face, trying to find some kind of answer that would help him understand why Barcelona fails to start well in the games they play inMadridagainstReal. He admits, "We are screwed and sad". But he believes that his team can tie the series at Palau.

What to do now:

"Win two games at home and for that we have to play better than in these first two matches."

The key to this second game:

"I don't know, but at the beginning of the games we always have the same problem. In all the games against Real here in Madrid, we don't react well at the beginning... I don't know how to explain this."

How is the team:

"Screwed and sad, but we have to lift our heads because now the games in Barcelona are coming."

Do you believe in the comeback?:

"Yes, of course."

Real Madrid, unreachable:

"In the first ten minutes, it has been, then the game has been more or less balanced, but we have to change our bad starts."

Lack of attitude?:

"I don't know. It's very difficult to explain why we start so badly in the games with them."

Bad starts:

"There is no clear answer to that question. I think it's a bit of everything, today a couple of mistakes have come together that made Llull score two, three three-pointers at the beginning and then it's very difficult to try to fix it. If players with this talent are allowed to enter the game, they will eventually kill you. That's what happened to us in the first quarter."

Tough defeat:

"Of course it affects your mind, but also losing in the last second. In the first game, we also came out equally affected for having had the game in our hands and not being able to close it, and today it has not been possible despite having tried in the last three quarters. We have to start over."

Decisive third game:

"It's all or nothing. We have to show the character we have shown in the last three quarters. The problem is that we know the way but for some reason we can't carry it out in some moments of the games and that's what gives the victory to the opposing team."

MACIEJ LAMPE

Disappointed:

"I'm hurt, although now it's time to go back home, win the two games and come back here to Madrid. We'll be ready for the third game."

Llull, key:

"We started very badly and they started very well although we tried to fight. Real Madrid is a great team and we let Llull get into the game with his three-pointers and then we were playing catch-up.

Overwhelmed:

"We couldn't attack with fluidity, they defended us very well. They attacked very well today. We lost by 20, we don't feel good. We have to improve."

Few minutes:

"Everyone wants to play and help. Sometimes you play more and sometimes less."
