TwitterVairogs: "In order to win PAOK we have to play at the highest level"
BK Ventspils head coach Roberts Stelmahers : “This game will be very important for us, especially because it will happen here, on our home court."
"We are getting ready for it with our mind set absolutely on the game. “PAOK” is a very good team that knows how to use the time at hand, it uses all 24 seconds for the offence. Greek team’s roster is well put together, they don’t just have one or two leaders, but seven or eight of them who average around 20 minutes a game and score similar amount of points. We can anticipate their offence from all positions, that is why we have to concentrate and continue to play patiently in the defence.“
BK “Ventspils” team captain Akselis Vairogs: “After two lost games and if we really think about qualifying for the next group round, then we just have to win. The rivals are a very strong team, they definitely did not show off all of their skills during the game versus “Lokomotiv”, in some ways we can compare them to the Turkish “Karisyaka”. A good team where every player knows his position on the team. In order to win this team we have to play at the highest level, if not even higher.”
