Peniaroia: “The most difficult opponent, but we can beat Olympiakos”

Although he realizes the high degree of difficulty he has for her Baskonia M. Thursday’s match with Olympic in SEF, o Joan Peñarroya expresses faith that his team can win and secure qualification.

“It will be a tough game. There is no more difficult opponent than the first in the standings at home. This is a very good and compact team, with important players in the history of the Euroleague, but we know that we know that if we play the basketball we can, we are capable of winning. We are satisfied with the way we have done this year in the Euroleague and we have the right to depend on ourselves in the last matchday“, he said.

As for his team’s bad scenario, which wants them to bet on Zalgiris defeat by Bayern on Friday if they themselves lose at SEF on Thursday, he said:It’s good for us, because we won’t have to think about what’s happening in the other game. But even if we lose, we won’t be able to see the Zalgiris game, because at that time we will be flying to Tenerife».
