Massimo Cancellieri emphasized that the atmosphere in PAOK’s home matches is well known and this also happened against Porto, he analyzed why he played with many changes against the Portuguese, he believes that they are playing and will play with 100% of their potential, he asked for a change of mentality and concentration in the next matches, but also to remain humble.
In detail: “PAOK is known for the atmosphere of the fans. We expected it and I think we had energy in the fourth period because of the chemistry of the team and the crowd. Everyone did their job. I made changes to show something different, try something different and force the opponent to think more to get the result I want. That’s why I tried different shapes with both guards and talls.
The team gives 100% and this is the team we have. We won’t always play like this in the season, I’m saying it now after a big win, that’s normal. We will work to make this happen a little or not at all. We must meet. I have to get to know the players, they get to know me, the players get to know each other.
We have to work on our mentality because we are a new team. I love Persedis because he fights every second he is on the floor, but twice he didn’t get the rebound. I want her to believe she can take it. Both for him and for himself. We can’t make mistakes in defense.
I took Cruiser out after an offensive foul. He was upset because I thought I got him off for that, but I got him off for a mistake in defense that didn’t work the change properly and we conceded three points. PAOK this year starts and ends in defense.
In the next matches, we need to be more focused and have less intensity in training to have energy. The main thing is not to give too much intensity to the game and this concerns the players, to work more with the mind in order to get the right result.
It is very important to stay humble if we want to have a good season. The image of the team in the two quarters when we got a difference, but we did not finish the match, shows who we are and, if this did not happen and the team increased the difference, we would be talking about a team that would win the championship. It’s not us, we’re working to improve all of this. We should stay humble and work to get the best possible result.”
