Papatheodorou: “We didn’t control defense and attack, but we can qualify”

Ilias Papatheodorou emphasized that Promethea’s players did not control the match against Holon in defense and did not find rhythm in attack, but they had the mental reserves to “turn around” the match in the last seconds, he praised the quality of the Israelis, he stood up to the difficulties that BC’s “16” phase hides, “deified” Koniaris and gave the signal for the next championship match.

Analytically: “It was a difficult game, Holon is a very good team and they were very accurate today. We didn’t manage to control the game through our defense and find rhythm in the attack as well. However, we had the mental reserves to ‘turn it around’ and claim it in the one possession at the end. However, we are in control and can get the win we want in the last match.

At 10 minutes of play, there is too much time. We could have won, we had a double goal in the fourth quarter. Holon is a very good team, we know who we are, we have a very good presence so far. It is very difficult to progress to the Top 16″.

For Koniaris and the sequel: “Every player offers. Antonis has influence in the defense and in the organization. He gave us clear decisions. To “turn around” such a match requires a lot of effort. In the end, we gave the signal to ‘raise our heads’, because it is a defeat that hurts. We have a match on Saturday for the Greek championship and then we will see AEK”.
