Fotis Takianos emphasized that in the first quarter PAOK had a concentration against Olympiacos in SEF, but in the second they gave Olympiacos the opportunity to run with the mistakes they made and for that they accepted 30 points in the surprise, giving a signal for work afterwards to reach their standards.
Analytically: “We came knowing that we have a very difficult game to play. When we saw the absences of Olympiakos, we had a moderate optimism that we can claim the game, but we didn’t show it on the field. In the first quarter we had the concentration and the pace of the match, we also imposed some things that we had said we wanted to do.
In the second quarter we gave Olympiakos a chance to run, we made mistakes that we could have avoided. Errors of execution and creation and this left us behind in the score, while it is very important that 30 of the 77 points scored by the opponent came from surprises.
In certain phases we were either wrong, or we lost very easy baskets. A very difficult continuation awaits us. We have our own goals in the league and the Cup. With hard work we will try to come back, because we have fallen below our standards recently.”
