Massimo Cancellieri emphasized that PAOK plays the way he wants and that his players are starting to understand what he is asking of them, he focused on the appearance of the third quarter and that he does not want to see a relaxation, he asked for time credit for Alex Antetonkubo, while he asked for a perfect game and great effort in defense against AEK next Saturday.
In detail: “I liked a lot today. My job is to make the team understand every minute he spends on the court. The winning mentality is coming slowly, I really liked the third quarter. I didn’t want anyone to be relaxed when we got the gap over 20 points. We set the tone and dominated the game. Whether we win or lose, we’ll give it our all on the court.”
On the arrival of Alex Antetokounmpo: “He will start the adaptation process gradually. We have discussed with him, we have clear ideas and we will not change our mentality. He will take his time and we will take ours, we will all work together. It’s an interesting ‘injection’ of energy. I like the way we play, I believe in the team, so does he. It will be a long process and time is required from both sides.”
About Saturday’s match against AEK: “We will do our preparation. The team knows that AEK, after Panathinaikos and Olympiakos, might be the third team and favorite for this position along with Marousi. We know we have to have a perfect game and a great effort. We have to take a step more in defense for 40′ to be competitive. We have to fight and not allow them to have a good day.”
