Hassanidis: “Let’s be focused and tough in defense”
Igor Milicic’s direct partner, Christos Hasanidis, referred to the importance of the match and the elements that will determine the qualification:
“Our goal is clear: we want to qualify for the Final 8 of the Cup. To achieve this, we must present ourselves focused and faithfully implement our game plan.
We are facing a very quality team, which has proven its capabilities during the season. We recently played Pigeon and we don’t want the game to be judged on the details until the end. We need to be physical in defense, to control the rebounds and through them to run the fast game that characterizes us. If we do, I believe the result will come.”
