Easy premiere for Pegasus Polichnis

The team of Giannis Orfanos had the “weapon” of the service and kept its mistakes to a minimum.

After the end of the match, the Greek coach emphasized that: “Our program in the Balkans started in a positive way, certainly the opponent was of lower capacity, but this did not make us lose our concentration, we were 100% focused and an easy one came win.

The sequel will be completely different, the teams we have to face are very good and we have to give 100% of our potential for this phase, whatever readiness we are at the moment for the next game against Beroe, which will it is completely different and more demanding.”
