Although Aris managed to close the gap to 6 points before the start of the final period, they were defeated 102-89 by AEK and ended 2024 with a loss.
The coach of the “yellows”, Yannis Kastritisspoke about the lack of concentration his players had in the critical parts of the game, talked about the many injuries the team has, while emphasizing that Aris will come back.
What he said in detail:
“The boys really tried very hard in the second half. As in many other games we lack, the same happened today, that’s what I say, the right start, the right approach to the game. When it comes to trying and overcoming we lack the clear mind and intelligence to manage our possessions both in attack and defense. This is largely due to the small rotation we have and the injury problems we have had every game for almost two months.
We must be stronger in mind. By putting so much effort and effort into coming back we can be smarter when we need to be. We are having a hard time lately, we really want to come back. We can’t wait for the rest of our injured to return and to finally have a full roster for both training and games so we can be the ones we need to be.
We make changes, we try to help the team, we have a lot of new players from game to game. We have faith, we have strength, we believe in ourselves. We are having a hard time but we will be back. We are there every day, we work and when we are all together the team will get the results it wants. Happy New Year to all and congratulations to AEK for their victory».
