THE PAOK prevailed with 72-69 Karditsa for the 11th matchday of the Stoiximan Basket League, in a match that dominated the first part, however, in the second half he almost committed “suicide”, taking the pink card with all his might.
The coach of the “black and white”, Fotis Takianosat the press conference he spoke about the different image his players had in the two halves, stressing that in the end there was a lack of strength and energy.
In detail, what Fotis Takianos mentioned:
“Congratulations to our players for what they achieved, to have PAOK in this position, but also for today’s performance of the first half and in general for the effort. The game has two racing faces. In the first half we were completely dominated in defense and attack, which is also visible in the difference (49-29).
In the second half, our players could not respond to what we asked for, due to a lack of strength and energy. There we also had a block in our decisions.
It was clear that our players wanted to but could not in the second half. Karditsa put a pressing defense on us. We didn’t have a clear mind. We should learn from today’s game. Let’s learn how to manage such games. Outside of quotes we are lucky.
A big gain for us is that our image enjoys the respect of the PAOK world. With the new year I wish we have more people by our side. The strength and impetus it gives us is very important. PAOK and the world march together».
