“Fenerbahce have started the season very well, although they lost at home to Red Star. But they beat Olympiakos and Efes. It will be a difficult match. Yes, we will have a problem at forwards because of our absences, but that’s why we have a big roster. We will play to win“, emphasized the Turkish coach.

As for whether he is concerned about his form Kostas Sloukas; “And last year he had injury issues that set him back. He is an experienced player who will find his rhythm again day by day. For me, he is the best point guard in the Euroleague and he showed it in last year’s Final-4, where he also received the MVP award“, he noted.
Finally, about the derby with Olympiakos on Sunday he said he would deal with it in his own time: “Every match is different and difficult. Now we are only thinking about Fener and then we will turn to Olympiakos».
