Rejoicing in the great victory over her AEK Betsson BCin the premiere of his “16” phase Basketball Champions Leaguesaid Prometheus’ coach, Ilias Papatheodorou.
The Greek coach, during the press conference, emphasized that his team showed its true face in the second half of the match, attributing the victory to the defense, while he argued that the Patras team, with consistency and seriousness, can make history in the institution.
In detail what Elias Papatheodorou said at the press conference:
“We were expecting a very difficult game, we had played about a month and a half ago with AEK and the image of the game was very different, we knew that it will come very prepared, we come from a hard defeat that we suffered in extra time.
Our start was sluggish, we were going second in the duels. In the second half, however, we showed our true colors, managed some situations well and managed to get the victory.
It is possible that we were affected by the defeat against Peristeri, we have to analyze this, it must not happen again because at the level we are at it is very difficult to come back to a game that is not going well because the level is quite high. We have a team that has character and we expected a reaction in the second half, which finally came.
Our defense in the second half was a click higher in energy and contact. The tempo of the game changed because we were more aggressive in all our actions.
This victory means a lot but at the same time nothing. It is the first game in a fairly balanced group with favorites due to quality Murcia. We have the experience to manage today’s victory, we have seriousness and we must continue like this.
Etzenike is a very important loss for us, it’s time for him to come back and we hope to be full in the next games.
We are very thirsty, we are competitive and no one knows where we can go. With consistency in our everyday life and seriousness we can reach high and write history”.
