THE PAOK he made a bad appearance in “Palataki” and was dragged away from her Tofa with a score of 95-63, while now he has the obligation to do a “double” in Bursa in order to stay alive for the “16” of the BCL.
After the match, Stathis Nerantzakiswho coached the team for about 25 minutes after his ejection Foti Takianouemphasized the very bad face of the “two-headed” which explains this heavy defeat.
In detail what he said:
“I want to wish everyone a happy new year and good health. It was a difficult night for us. Everything we thought about doing tactically didn’t work against Tofas. We were very stressed after the first quarter. We can say a lot about the tactics, such as that they dominated the rebounds. It is a team that has size in all positions. We were not psychologically ready to come back in the match, even if we tried.
The opponents went to the ball first. When something goes wrong, you usually try to react. We did the opposite. We were left to the state of the game. When a team dominates in strength, you try to fight back, we didn’t. This happened for the first time this year so strongly. We are playing for the top-16. There is no clear explanation, it’s just the picture.
We had two key players absent plus McNeese was out of the squad for two months. This creates unpredictable situations, because otherwise you have a full roster. It wasn’t so much the shock, but that we couldn’t handle having to change the rotation. The players were bad on both sides of the floor. I can only explain it from a tactical point of view. The dismissal of the first coach was also something that affected the image of the game.”
