His great satisfaction for his historic qualification Pigeon bwin in the quarter-finals of the BCL, expressed at the press conference after his team’s great victory over Tenerife Vassilis Spanoulisemphasizing that his team 100% deserved qualification, since they did not give up and kept their faith after three defeats in the first three matches of the “16” phase.
What the Peristeri coach said in detail bwin:
“It’s a great night for the club. It’s a massive win that sends us into the 8 and I’m very proud. As Leonidas said, when we were down 0-3 we didn’t give up, we had faith, we gave everything and we succeeded. It’s the character we showed in the 0-3 record, especially when we lost on Speedy Smith’s buzzer beater. We worked even harder and succeeded. Congratulations to my players. Everything is built here in training. In the matches I am ready to see my players play because I know their readiness and motivation.
People have always supported us. He was here with Karsijaka and now we all celebrate this great achievement together. The group was very difficult with three teams favorites for the Final Four and a 4-5 times bigger budget than us. We looked them in the eye, we battled, we played great basketball on both ends of the floor. We are a brand new team with ten new players and it is very difficult. But we found chemistry, rhythm and we 100% deserve to be here.
For the game, we had great faith in our plan. We weren’t unhappy when Huertas scored because that was our plan. We just didn’t want the others to score. You choose to win or lose from a tactic. We had faith, we made everything difficult for Guy and Huertas. In the end our plan worked. If the players are not focused, the plan cannot come off. The players are the stars, not us coaches. We will celebrate today, tomorrow we will rest and prepare for the next game”.
