Cancellieri: “We played good and solid defense in the critical points”

Massimo Cancellieri emphasized that the PAOK players played a good defense in the decisive points of the match against Kalev in Estonia, he considers the victory in the FIBA ​​Europe Cup “16” premiere important, he asked for a victory in the next match so that the specific result has value , considers that the results are unfair to them based on the image they show and emphasized the importance of the next matches in Greece and Europe.

In detail: “Our victory is very important because we improved in defense during the match and in the crucial points we played solid defense, but we also got the rebounds, which we didn’t do in the first half. An away win like that in a four-team group and in the Round of 16 counts for a lot.

We have to confirm this result in the next home game, but it is a result that we needed because lately we have been getting less than we deserve as a team. We’re losing games we should be winning. It’s something that happens in teams like ours, but we needed this victory to work more calmly.”

For PAOK, there are three home games against Promethea (9/12), Oradea (12/12), Kolossos (15/12) in less than a week and the Italian coach commented: “These three matches are very important for us. It will help us a lot if the people of PAOK come to the stadium and help us, as they did in the games with Olympiacos and AEK. That’s what we need right now.”
