A few days after his official debut on her bench AEK Betsson BC, The Ilias Zouros will also make his “first” European appearance at the helm of “Enos”, in tomorrow’s away match against Hapoel Holon in Szómbathely, Hungary for the 2nd matchday of the “16” stage of the BCL.
The Greek coach spoke in the best words about the Israeli team, emphasizing at the same time that for AEK an away victory in this phase of the competition is… gold.
The statements of Ilias Zouros in detail:
“We are facing Hapoel Holon, a team that plays special basketball, as is the case with most teams from Israel. With complex defenses, with persistence in the “zone”. This is a group that is trying to impose a different approach.
We, for our part, must be focused. It goes without saying that we have to play good defense, which is the most important element in a team and one of the pieces that we have to improve. Of course, at the given time the main thing is the victory. To find time to correct things, that is to enter a different philosophy, so that we can have the basketball we want and the results we want.
It is a very important match, but it is only the second match. We should have no pressure. In any case, we have to fight for the victory and “in the end we will cash out”. But every win in this phase of the BCL, especially away from home, is… golden.”
