After about two weeks of inactivity, the “two-headed man of the north” returns to competitive action and the good news for Fotis Takianos is how he calculates all his players.
From here on, the coach of the team from Thessaloniki told paokbc.gr ahead of the premiere of the series:
“We start the series of games with Olympiakos, knowing that these are games with a very high degree of difficulty. There are certain parameters, such as game inactivity, the away game and the journey we have to make. We have to manage all this properly, to get into a good competitive rhythm and deal properly with a very high level opponent.
Our goal is, within forty minutes, with concentration and energy to manage to match the speed of Olympiakos in the movement of the players and in the transfer of the ball. We must not accept easy points and for this to happen, it is very important not to open up the pace of the match. Our task is difficult, but we are happy to be here, in the final four, we want to be competitive, starting from the first game and going with this logic until the end of this series and the championship».
