After the home defeat by Lavrio, AEK Betsson she has a very difficult game ahead of her, as tomorrow (15/10, 17:15) she faces Olympic at SEF for the 2nd matchday of the Basket League.
Speaking on the team’s website, the “Union” coach, Joan Platha, stood at first derby of the year, but also in the midweek premiere of the “yellow and black” in the BCL. At the same time, he emphasized that some groups need more time to tie and reach the level their coach is asking for, citing a recent rant by San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich!
Joan Platha’s statements in detail:
“We have before us the first derby of the year. We know that Olympiacos is coming from a difficult match, but we also have a very important match on Tuesday against Ludwigsburg in the BCL. We must be focused on the SEF fight. This match is important for us, and we are focused on this match
The loss to Lavrio did not allow us to start our duties exactly as we would have liked, and that is why we will have to be consistent in our plan tomorrow. It is not easy to build the team as you have it in your mind in such a short period of time.
Recently, Gregg Popovich stated that some teams even need a year to reach the level their coach wants. Many think that this is easily done within a month. This is a wrong reasoning. Our opponent will have at his disposal nine players from last season’s roster tomorrow, and we will only have one.
In any case, our goal is to be competitive until the last second in SEF, and to claim victory against a difficult opponent.
After this match, we will be able to focus on Tuesday’s match, in which we expect our fans to sell out the available seats in our stadium.”
