In the last match we didn’t play very well, but in the end everything was decided by one possession. I expect a difficult match, but it will be even more difficult for Fener. And last year we lost the second match, we had experience, but we did not learn anything. The human factor is very important, and we have a lot of people here. Each person deals with stress and criticality in their own way, you can’t penetrate their thoughts,” said Giorgos Bartzokas, while Dimitris Itoudis stressed, “We know this series is long. We are playing against a great team, the champion of the regular season of the Euroleague. They play at the highest level and fight for every possession. They are still the favorites but we have proven that we can compete with them and we want to do it again.”
