The coach of PAEK, Euripides Andreou, spoke after his team’s victory over APOEL for the 17th day of the OPAP Basket League.
In detail:
“We went into the game without any nerves, that was the key. We had sealed our stay in the league, which was our goal, since last week. I told the guys to go in without stress, From game 1 to game 16, which was today, we fought every game. There wasn’t a game that we lost by 30-40 games, because we fought them all. I want to say a big thank you to my assistant, Dimitris Papadopoulos, he does an excellent job, to the guys and to the president who keeps this club alive”.
For the offensive function of the team: “We are a team that averages 80 points on offense. We have talented players who score, Our problem is on defense and we’ve had it since the beginning of the season. We don’t have a tall player, so we run more, turn the ball over more, shoot more threes. Today we were fortunate we were very accurate. That mentality comes out in the game.”
For the continuation: “All games are very important. Our goal is sixth place. It’s the position we can reach, as the teams above that are excellent. But the season has been a success, since we managed to stay in the league with three strangers and reached the point where we are competing for sixth place, it’s like we won the championship.”
