His first acquaintance with the imposing Sinan Erdem Dome had Tuesday night o PAOK mateco. The training of the team took place with him Marvin Jones try to pick up the pace and be the extra person compared to the previous two games, however the problems are not missing, as Malcolm Griffin and Vlado Jankovic will be absent again and of course there is also Josh Carter who underwent surgery.
Difficult conditions, very difficult and the game against Galatasaray NEF the group leader, in a match where the first place will be judged, but also in one a large percentage qualify.
The coach of PAOK mateco Mr. Lykogiannis, referring to tomorrow’s game with Galatasaray NEF stressed: “We are facing the highest quality team of the group, which in one way or another, has won all the games of the group so far, with the exception of the match in Palataki. I think this will give them extra motivation, plus that if they win they have a direct qualification to the “16” of the tournament. Because, they beat Igokea 2 times and with a big difference in the first game Nymburk. The only team that threatens them is PAOK. We have to manage the pace of the game and the defensive rebound. It is a group with tall bodies and she likes to perform in the first 8 ”. In this we had control in the first match, but the conditions then were different. Then they were tired and we were full. Now they are full, we are decimated and relatively tired. “Marvin Jones is better physically, but we have to see the breath he has and how much he can follow the rhythm, to see what time he will take in the game”.
Referring to the difficulties that the team is facing this year, but also to the psychological part after the defeat in Patras, the coach of PAOK mateco said: “With everything that has happened this year, with three games lost in the end and the absence of key players, I think the only positive thing is that the children have adapted, they have all entered roles different from those for which they were acquired. Whether they respond to something different or not is relevant. Everyone has tried to come forward. I have said again, the positive thing about participating in Europe is that you quickly leave defeats behind, because you have fast matches. There is grief for the defeat in Patras, for the effort made in the second half, but also because we all wanted the victory due to the absences that existed. Life, however, goes on and on. We have a very important game ahead of us and for us the motivation of the first is great “.
