Giorgos Limniatis stressed that Peristeri forces their opponents to fight 100% to beat them, he was disappointed with the defeat by Olympiakos, after they showed that they could qualify for the Super Cup final and he focused on the details, he congratulated the players for the effort, asked for this particular match to be a guide for the future, focused on the small roster he has in view of the BCL premiere on Wednesday and noticed a weakness in the defensive rebound.
In detail: “Feelings are a bit mixed. We try to cultivate a fighting spirit in our team. We are different compared to the previous two years. We have to force the opponent to play at 100%. There is sadness because we were lucky to win the game.
Some small details deprived us of it. At 8 p.m. we missed the defensive rebound from Williams-Goss shots and ate a basket. Afterwards, we also conceded a three-pointer and instead of the quarter ending at 8-10 p.m. ended at 3 points.
I want to congratulate the guys, they made a tremendous effort. This appearance must be a guide for us, to believe in what we are ‘building’. We have excellent players and excellent children. I think we have to continue with this spirit, this combativeness, we had 21 assists against Olympiakos. We lost some rebounds because Patton had 4 fouls.
We will keep the right things we did. Despite the defeat, we feel satisfied that we can do good things. We will continue and have a good image accompanied by good results, starting from Wednesday in Serbia.”
Regarding the rotation of Peristeri and the new players: “It is a given that we have a smaller roster. Every loss is important. We trust all the players, we believe in them. Zougris had 13′, but got 7p. Avdalas was stressed, but we believe him. We will give them a chance because they deserve it. We don’t give them opportunities for free. They earn them and they deserve them. If they deserve it, they will take time.”
On the weakness he finds in his team: “The biggest weakness, which was also seen in the friendly games, is in the defensive rebound. We give second chances to our opponents. We’ve been focusing on this for a while. We will try to improve it, rebounding is a team effort, very basic element. We want to do a better job, to succeed and not see this big difference in rebounds.”
