Head Coaches

GALANIS, DIMITRIOS
Lukoil Academic Sofia
""Our defense was good, despite missing our big guy and captain of the team Tencho Banev, who is dealing with an injury. We were able to control almost the whole game. We are the same team which lost to Balkan last Sunday in Bulgarian league. What we need is much more patience and trust. We have stayed united after that loss, and that helped us tonight to claim the victory. Our road continues, in front of us are a lot of difficult battles."

"It is an impressive victory for Lukoil. We've been prepared very well for the game with Pinar Karsiyaka. Our goal was to attack mainly through their big guys and force them into foul trouble. We managed to do that, and that was a key moment for us in the first half. We have two more games in the group - away and at home - and if we succeed to win in both of them, we have chances to qualify for the next round."
