Start with ambitions for PAOK, Maroussi

Maroussi-Norkeping

A new cycle begins for Marousi. Returning to Europe after a full 14 years, it welcomes (20.15) for the premiere of the seventh group of the FIBA ​​Europe Cup the Swedish Norrköping in the closed St. Thomas.

The goal of the “yellows” is on the one hand to get as far as they can in the competition and on the other hand to give as many games as possible to improve their homogeneity.

Nikos Vetoulas has asked his players to forget their Stoiximan GBL premiership loss to Prometheus and focus on the European game. “A team with nine new players has a process ahead of it to manage to find its identity. In this sense, Europe will only do us good, because now our team needs more games to get rolling”, emphasized the 50-year-old technician and added that:

“We have information about Norrköping, but at the beginning of the season every game has difficulties. For this, we look more at our own image because I think we have a lot of room for improvement. As we saw in the premiere of the championship, there is great competitiveness and, if you exclude the two “big ones”, everyone can win everywhere. That means trust and mental stability are needed.”

Limburg-PAOK

The PAOK team left for Belgium on Tuesday, so that they can begin their duties in the FIBA ​​Europe Cup against Limburg.

The mission of the “two-headed” initially “flew” to Brussels and, from there, went to Hasselt, headquarters of his rival. The “black and white” trained in the evening of the same day at the “Sporthal Alverberg”, the stadium where the match will be held at 21:30.

The PAOK team includes: Panagiotis Lefas, Cedric Henderson Jr., Devonte Upson, Jake Forrester, Konstantinos Iatridis, Nikos Persidis, Dimitris Katsivelis, Konstantinos Papadakis, Frank Bartley, Christos Manthopoulos, Shavar Reynolds Jr, Rocky Kreuser
