Sfeiropoulos: “We are in the middle of the season, the conclusions are drawn… post-war”

THE Red Star is trying to stay alive to qualify for its playoffs Euroleaguehaving a big match with her Barcelona in Belgrade (02/02, 21:00).

In view of this confrontation, Mr Yannis Sfeiropoulos he spoke about the great quality of the Catalans, while he mentioned that it is too early to make any assessment of the “red and whites”.

In detail what he said:

For the match against Barcelona: “They are a very good team, it will be very difficult for us. It’s difficult for all the teams against them, we know how good they are. But it will not be easy for them either, we will try to be as difficult an opponent as possible. We want to be as aggressive as possible, fight for every ball, be smart in attack and play our way, the way we want to play, that’s the key.”

For whom it stands out: “They are a very quality team, I wouldn’t single out any player, they have a lot of strength on the perimeter. You saw in the game against Virtus, Kalinic played almost 30 minutes and scored six points. So, it’s not about how many points you gave, but how you are on the court. We must stop all the players, we must not focus on one, because then the others will overtake us.”

On the good momentum that Red Star seems to be on: “We can’t judge now, we can’t assess our game at any time of the season. We’re in the middle of the season, we’re in the middle of work and when you’re in the middle of a war, you can’t jump to conclusions. The conclusions are drawn after the war, we will see what we have done in relation to what we want to do. Now all the interest is in the match against Barcelona and how we will play against them. I always believe we can be better and improve.”
