Vetoulas: “We made a very good start, we want to qualify”

Marousi, led by Ismael Sanogo, comfortably defeated Norrköping 99-80 at the St. Thomas Indoor Stadium, starting his duties in the FIBA Europe Cupon his return to Europe.

After the match, Nikos Vetoulas he emphasized that he is pleased with the result and described the beginning of his team as positive, although he emphasized that in first half he didn’t read the game well, especially on defense.

In detail what he said to the ERT camera:

For the bad start and the comfortable victory afterwards: “It’s obvious that in the first 20 minutes we didn’t play good defense. We let them score a lot off second offense and run in transition. In the second half we did a much better job. We have a much better team than the opponents. We didn’t have the right approach in the first half. In the end I think we found a rhythm and made a very good start. Sanogo helped us a lot, as did Radulica.”

On whether the team wants to qualify: “Certainly! We have to look at it game by game. We cannot afford to look any further. Our goal is the next match against Kolossos, to see if Nikolaidis will be ready to play. We have to be ready because we know how difficult the Championship is.”
