With Title “The Greek champions eager to make a good impression in Europe“, begins the great tribute that the EHF uploaded for her AEK.
Let’s remember that “Enos” took the championship in the final of the playoffs against Olympiakos, winning the fifth title in the history of the club.
Thus begins in about a month her journey to Europe where she is in Group B along with Hannover, Kriens Lucerne and Gornik Zambrze. Note that the EHF European League Men is a high-quality competition in which there are no easy opponents
The article includes statements by the new coach, Dragan Dzukic, the captain, Panagiotis Nikolaidis and last year’s MVP, Stipe Madalinic.
Djukic: “Things and habits do not change from one day to the next, I will try to keep all the good things that characterized AEK in the previous successful seasons, but also add some of the handball “flavor” that the teams have in which I have worked on. I hope that with the support of my players, we will succeed together! Let’s be honest, sports are so wonderfully beautiful because they give us the opportunity to dream beyond reality. The coach’s role is not only to lead his team to realistic goals, but also to set goals that sometimes seem unattainable. Of course, there is a lot of work and sacrifice on the way to this goal, and in the end only those who are ready for it succeed. Simple, right?’
Nikolaidis: “It is very important for us to win the Greek championship again. It is our goal every year and we fight for it. In Europe we will give our 100% and play with passion. We have a very strong team and we are very happy about our participation in the EHF European League Men”.
Madalinic: “I am very satisfied and happy. I played very well last year, for which I was awarded the best left back and MVP of the Greek league. I think I can help with the experience I have having played in the EHF Champions League and the EHF European League Men,” Madalinic said, adding: “We have a lot of quality and experienced players in the squad and I think we will be good competitors in the EHF European League Men. AEK has a good project and I think we are on the right track. We have very good fans, every home game will be difficult for the opponent.”
