We have always been like this for the last 2 years. We have always been like this for the last 2 years. “We are in a difficult group, so this win is worth a lot. These wins increase the expectations of our fans, it’s natural, but it’s too early to talk about championships, we need to pass these group stages first. Final 8, which we put at the beginning of the season, and then the Final.” Let’s stay at 4 and then let’s talk about championships.

Likewise, Michael Roll preferred us for the same reasons. This year, important changes in our Turkish player roster “The main reason we were able to make these transfers was to be the target team and the showcase we created in Pınar Karşıyaka. Our special relations with the players also occupy a very important place among us. Together as a team, we need to keep the end of the business and increase the performance of the players, thus increasing the success of the team.” he said.

It will be a difficult match. “It’s necessary to play. To beat a team like Anadolu Efes, everyone needs to show their best performance on the field. We are in good shape as a team, we are in good spirits, after all, we will play a very tough and tough match. We will do everything we can to win.”
