Dimitris Priftis’ assistant, Vassilis Simtsak, stressed that they played an amazing defense throughout the match, he believes that they have found a way to be more competitive in all matches, praised Papagiannis and mentioned Ferrell, Kostala and Gelovac separately.
Analytically: “First of all, it is a great victory for us, mainly for psychological reasons. We have improved a lot in the last three weeks, especially in our defense. We deserved the victory in Munich tonight as well.
Congratulations on adapting to the defense we are asking for. In the attack, we circulated the ball for three seasons. In the end we played a lot of iso. However, we put big baskets, played good defenses and won.
For the psychology of Panathinaikos and if the switch can be turned on: “Victory was not in our minds. We wanted to show that we are on the rise and to play, as in the last games. We are happy, because the children have understood that in this way we can be competitive and win. We are clearly improved in the last games, they have understood what we ask from them “.
For the injury of Dimitris Priftis: “I do not know exactly what happened. As he walked, he felt a pull. Of course, we won and it feels good. You know, if we lost it would definitely be worse. But I think it’s okay. ”
For the appearance of George Papagiannis: “George is very important to us. We explained to him at half time that we would not be lucky if he did not increase his performance. Zenit had many offensive rebounds. We had to increase our performance. He came out ahead, like the other games. ”
For the departure of Yogi Ferrell: “I do not want to comment on Ferrell. When you talk to the coach, he will explain. “I came here to talk about the game.”
On the death of Stratos Kostalas and the adventure of Stefan Gelovac: “I would also like to express my condolences to the family of Stratos Kostalas, who helped us while we were in Russia. In the family of Stefan Gelovac I want to say keep it strong, I do not know exactly what has happened. May God put his hand and let us have pleasant developments “.
