Coach Kastritis trusts in fighting spirit to show the way forward for Aris Thessaloniki

The Greek side, fresh off a win at Bourg, is feeling confident under its Greek play-caller

There are some moments or games even early during a season that may eventually define a team’s path. Like the stunning win of Aris Midea Thessaloniki at 2024 BKT EuroCup finalist Cosea JL Bourg-en-Bresse.

While there’s still a long road ahead in the season, Aris coach Giannis Kastritis believes that this victory can have significant, positive long-term impact on the Greek side as it looks to mount a deep run in the EuroCup.

“Such an important win gives us a lot also when it comes to having confidence,” Kastritis tells Eurohoops. “Trusting in your capabilities for what comes next in the long, difficult season that we have ahead of us. We expect some ups and downs until we stabilize ourselves at a steadily high level of performance.

“These types of wins help you buy some time. [They] build confidence, boost your psychology to improve and progress.”
