"Important victory, [especially] in this succession of matches between the EuroLeague and the championship. We take it, put it in our pockets, and prepare the next one," the coach told.

"Managing the double commitment? We need to learn, recover energy and concentration, and be able to turn the page immediately," Scariolo continued. "Each match is a stage like any other, you can't stay there too long."

The team has been battling without one of its big-name veterans so far - Milos Teodosic. Asked about the player, the coach was optimistic.

"Is Teodosic back? I hope so, if the training for the next few days goes well, he will be able to play it for a few minutes," Scariolo told.

Virtus will now get ready to meet FC Bayern Munich at home in Round 2 of the EuroLeague on Thursday. The game is scheduled to begin at 20:30 CET.
