Coach Banchi’s statements: “We are on the eve of a cycle of very important and difficult games that we will have to face with concentration and responsibility, in the knowledge that we are now fighting for very important goals, which is why we will have to express on court all the energy, enthusiasm and confidence of having earned this stage with effort and dedication. Olympiacos, vice European champions, is going through a very good moment of form, producing a choral basketball and a defensive consistency worthy of a title aspiring team. We will play in a very hot environment, but the value of the opponents and the environmental conditions should be the impetus for an aggressive and determined game.”
Alessandro Pajola: “A very difficult game awaits us on a really complicated court, against a very strong team built to win the title and that in recent seasons has proven to do well. A tough match to which, however, we come prepared. After the defeat in Sassari we had a chance to reason about our mistakes, we are ready to take the court and play a good game.”
