At noon on Wednesday (07/05) the draw took place Basketball Champions League, in which both the PAOKas well as AEK, Peristeri bwin and Prometheus of Patras.
In reference to the “two-headed man of the north”, the draw brought him to a lot difficult groupas the Thessalonians were called to face the Galatasaraylast year’s finalist of the institution, Hapoel Jerusalem and the winner of the first qualifier.
The PAOK coach also commented on the difficulty of the opponents, Fotis Takianossaying that there are two big favorites in the group, but the “black and white” will do their best.
Fotis Takianos stated in detail:
“I think we were drawn in the second most difficult group in terms of team capacity. We have to face two teams, for which we may not yet know exactly what they will present, but we know how they operate, what budget they have and the goals they set, both in terms of the national leagues, but also in the European competitions.
From their first moves, it seems that Galatasaray and Hapoel want to present high-level rosters. It wouldn’t be a surprise if their ultimate goal is to play in the Euroleague at some point. After all, they have the ability to do so.
We can’t yet talk about the 4th team in the group, but it’s clear that there are two teams that are favourites. We should take advantage of our home base, the support of our world, and build that competitive profile that will enable us to present our best. It is still very early, the teams are now being created, I think our very difficult group will be of great interest.”
