Thesaloniki belongs to FIBA Champions League. After Aris BC, the other big club of the Greek city, PAOK, confirmed today that they registered for next season’s Champions League and not in Eurocup.
Meanwhile Aris BC announced the extension of 35 years old center Vasilis Symtsak’s contract. The veteran player spoke to the official site of the club about next season: “I am very happy that I will play to Aris for the 3rd consecutive season. This was my desire from the day the league ended and became stronger when Dimitris Priftis stayed on the team.
In the two years I have been to Aris, the team has made significant progress.Personally, I think something big is created and I’m happy be part of the effort of such a big and historic team to return to where it belongs: at the top. Both Laskaris family and coach, have “we’re going step by step” as a motto and I believe that this is the best way to reach your target.
It’s very important that the team keeps a bunch of players from last season, so that with the appropriate movements, it will be stronger the next season. At the same time, we’re maintaining the family atmosphere, which was one of our main weapons in the previous season. With the help of our fans, who support us massively home and away, I believe that we will be able to take another step to the top. “
