Gerald discovered that “they wanted much more than we did.”
Coach of Hiopos Lleida, Coach Gerard Fiend lamented that his players “wanted more wins” after losing their sixth straight game against Fontaggio (103-86) on Sunday. The attitude of both teams was the deciding factor in the final result.
“There is desire in the team, there is no laziness, but there are moments when our rivals have more desire than us,” Feind said before assuming that Lleida’s team were in a “slightly negative loop”.
In this sense, Find also recognizes that the team is looking at the “smallest ring.” “When you have a negative power relationship and things don’t go well, you get confused and get stuck in a loop.”
The coach asserted that in the first half (54-44) his team was “always a second behind when we wanted to”, but that Girona played with “more than one point of energy”.
Fiend lamented that his rivals won 18-5 in offensive rebounds, 41-27 overall, and also made 18 field goals. “That’s almost an entire quarter,” he said.
According to the coach, in the second half Lleida increased their “defensive intensity” and showed “a little more will” and were able to close in on six points, but “minor details” prevented them from leveling the score, and in the end Girona “broke the game”.
Fiend also stressed the importance of “getting mentally strong” and “all continuing to work together” at this point in the season.

The basketball club of the VTB United League “Yenisei” announced the signing of a contract with attacking defender Daniil Kasatkin.
The contract with the 26-year-old player runs until the end of the 2026/27 season. On Thursday, Kasatkin was released from a French prison and returned to his homeland. According to the FSB, the Russian was exchanged for a French citizen, who was accused of espionage in Russia.
– I’m glad that we will cooperate. Daniil is in the best years of his career and can help the team a lot. We understand that he will need time to adapt after a difficult period, and we will gradually increase the load. I am sure that signing a contract with him is an excellent decision for both parties,” said Yenisey head coach Jovica Arsic.
In the 2024/25 season, the average statistics of Kasatkin, who played for MBA-MAI, were 6 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.4 steals in 18 minutes on the court.
After 20 matches with eight wins and 12 losses, Enisey is in seventh place in the VTB United League.
In June 2025, Kasatkin was arrested in France at the request of the United States. He was suspected of participating in a hacker network engaged in extortion. He faced up to 25 years on charges of “computer fraud” and “electronic fraud.” The athlete did not admit guilt. Kasatkin was subject to extradition to the United States.
