Navarro: “Well done to AEK, super supportive of its audience, but it respected us already”

THE Imbon Navarro praised the atmosphere in the Sunel Arena after the Malaga’s victory over AEK In the BCL Final 4 semifinal.

“Yesterday we saw the last minutes of the race with Nader with the full tension to prepare for the atmosphere. I congratulate AEK for the hospitality, its fans were super supportive about their team, but they also respected us.“, The Spanish technician stressed.

“We had a miserable night on the shots from afar, but we found the energy in the last period. We got 18 offensive rebounds, took some risks in our defense to limit Hale and the Hab, but Golden scored a lot of points. The fact that they had 1/10 shots shows how good defense we played. AEK with the impulse of her world played super offensive in defense, ran on the pitch and scored 24 points in the last period, but we have been in such a position. We know how to react to such situations, that’s what we did and we won“, He added.

“It is characteristic that Carter, from whom everyone is waiting to score, made three steals in the last minutes. We made mistakes, we had bad decisions, we were inappropriate, but we trusted our defense plan. If you told me we would receive 65 points before the match I would say that 90% will win“, He concluded.
