Josko Milekonski emphasized that PAOK played a good game against Elor, with the exception of some phases, he emphasized the importance of qualifying for the first time in the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup, he asked them to enjoy the upcoming matches with Toto, which is the most likely opponent, he focused on -10 of the second set on the changes he made to clear the minds of the starters and demanded that they give it their all at this level.
In detail: “European games are not easy. You have to give 100% to every ball. We played against one of the best Hungarian teams. We played a good game, with the exception of some moments in the second set. The important thing is that we qualified for the first time in our history in the round of 16 of the Challenge Cup. It is a good opportunity to enjoy the games against a very good Turkish team, Spor Toto, which I used to coach. Therefore, in January we will give games that we will enjoy.
In the second set, we didn’t think we could win it when we were 10 points behind. When the gap got bigger we made changes to clear the starters’ minds but the players who came off the bench made great decisions and came within a breath of the equalizer when we went 23-24 and lost a possession. Every player has to give 100%, train hard to play at this high level. I thank all the players for their offer and congratulate them for the qualification they got.”
