Today in Rough Translation: Dario Saric Says He Played like “The Last P***y”

Dario Saric speaks English fairly well. He used “forte” in an English context when talking about Giannis Antetokounmpo. But Croatian is his first language, and sometimes translations aren’t your friend.
Dario Saric, after the loss to Serbia, blamed himself:
– I don't know what to say. We lost again, and I played like the last pussy.

Dario added:
– I didn't start well & when I saw it wasn't going offensively, I tried to at least help my teammates on the defensive end.

Cro Sports went on to explain that he was basically saying he played like “the biggest pussy,” which is still pretty rough language for yourself even if you got posterized by a late-era Bond henchman:

Saric didn’t have the best game in Croatia’s elimination at the hands of their bitter rivals Serbia. He had seven points on 3/7 shooting, got into foul trouble early, and spent Croatia’s final minutes on the bench as his team was attempting a comeback.
Dario spent a majority of the Olympics playing second-fiddle to Bojan Bogdanovich – who plays like the Croatian Kobe, contested threes and all – but put up respectable numbers more often than not. With his Olympics over, the next time he hits the floor will be for the Sixers.
