“Last year we played Vakifbank in the Playoffs 6 and they eventually qualified for the final four” recalls the head coach of Eczacibasi, Italian-born Lorenzo Micelli.
“Since we have been playing each other quite many times in the European Cups, in the national league as well as in the national cup, we know our respective strengths and weaknesses. We believe in our chances as we want to continue our campaign to be finally crowned Europe’s champions later in March” he adds.
