OR AEK He is getting ready for the big match with Malaga in the semifinals of his Final 4 Basketball Champions League And Midaugas Kuzminskas talked about the game, favoring the Spanish team even about winning the title.
Midaugas Kuzminskas showed a look forward to AEK’s clash with Malaga and said he was confident about his team, in the effort he would make as an outsider, to qualify for the Basketball Champions League final.
Kuzminsca’s statements
On how he experiences the presence in Final 4: “It’s something special and I said it to the players. For some in the team it is likely to be the only Final 4 of their lives. The feelings, but also the attention we have from you journalists are something we have never been to. We have never seen so many of you come here. It’s big but tomorrow we will only concentrate on the game. Malaga is the favorite not only in the semifinals but throughout the Final 4. So we are something like underdog, but it’s never better. “
About what AEK needs to beat in the game: “What we need is to put more points (laughs). Speaking seriously, it’s a very good team. It belongs to the few European club that have been so stable in recent years. They won the Spanish cup, which is difficult. We need to have the energy they have.
Each of them struggles for four-five minutes, change comes out and the tempo stays the same. So we need to reduce the speed of their attacks. For our part, what is important to do is that we did all season. I personally feel very confident about tomorrow’s game, because in this year’s major matches we were good. This shows that we have positive psychology. I hope tomorrow’s match would be the same. “
For AEK’s friends: “I think this season has shown us that it is huge to play at home. We are undefeated in the Champions League. I am not sure how many fans will come tomorrow because tickets are a little expensive. But in general, their support throughout the season, not only in this final.”
