Our head coach Pablo Laso's pre-game remarks:
FC Bayern Munich is a very dangerous team with a lot of threats. Andreas Obst is obviously the man to watch, but Duane Washington, Johannes Voigtmann and Vladimir Lučić also bring plenty of firepower, and they have a deep rotation. They are very dominant in Germany and always give their opponents problems. If we want to win at home, we will have to be very aware of their strengths from the start, knowing they are beginning a new chapter with Anton Gavel as head coach. We must respect them as they deserve.
Our player Jordan Loyd's pre-game remarks:
We want to play with a positive sense of urgency and respond against FC Bayern Münich. Our last game against Olympiacos left a sour taste in our mouths, so we want to protect our home court and play with positive energy. It’s less about them and more about us. We need to rebound better, commit fewer turnovers and dictate the tempo. If we take care of the ball, play together and keep a positive mindset through the ups and downs, I think the game will go our way. We’re looking forward to the support of our fans, and we’ll come out with a thousand percent energy to do the little things right.
