The belief that he will display a AEK which will claim the chances due to Final-4 of the Cup expressed by Stefanos Dedas. The Greek coach noted him excitement to return to the place the team picked up two cupshowever, admitted that this time her mission is difficult.
So he noted that it would be better to… has not appeared the “Union” so competitive in the recent league game, set as a realistic goal to put hard to its best opponent.
Detailed what Dedas said
For the participation of AEK in the Final-4: “We want to express our enthusiasm and pride that once again we are present as AEK in a major sporting event. Our team won the Cup twice in Heraklion and this is a motivation and guide to do our best in this year’s Final 4.
It is important to do as Greek basketball what advanced countries do. We are competing in the elite, we must also be organizational and I think it is a matter of time.
In tomorrow’s semifinal, Olympiacos is the favorite, it has more quality than us, but the Cup is an institution of surprises and we will try with good strategy and self-sacrifice to stand in the game and transfer the pressure to Olympiacos. It is not easy, but we came in order to put it difficult in Olympiakos and tomorrow at 22:00 we will see what else we have achieved “.
For racing problems: “Absences are no longer news to us. We will see tomorrow morning what our situation is. The opponent knows what is happening in our camp and we know what is happening in the Olympic camp. For our part we will try to do our best. I do not know yet who will be available. “Tomorrow morning we will make the final details of our plan.”
About how AEK approaches the event: “The Cup was an oasis for us in a difficult year, in order to give perspective. The victory over Peristeri in the quarterfinals gave us a goal, but it ends now. It’s one or two matches. The Cup is the institution of surprises and it will be a surprise if we beat Olympiakos. The championship gives you more opportunities, you have more time and especially we as AEK are waiting to see even for 1-2 months what we were trying to do in the summer. “We have an important match ahead of us and that is all.”
Regarding the relationship between the semifinal and the recent championship match: “If we lost easily to Liosia in the championship, it would be a bit in our favor for tomorrow’s game. But I keep in mind that with a roster of seven players we played an amazing game. This is the difference between the two. Sloukas showed his quality and won the match. Someone else may show up tomorrow. The championship match can be a guide, but we have in mind that at any moment an Olympiacos player can become a leader and that is the meaning of a great team. If we are in the match, this time we should have a better prediction. To be a little better in adaptations “.
For the realistic goal of AEK: “For us, the Cup is an opportunity to have a little fun during the difficult year. Not to save the season, because there are still 3-4 months. We want to make the roster as we want and run a series. The year is big, Final 4 is a big station, but we do not live here. “Regardless of the result, we have a schedule to show at the end of the playoffs.”
