A very difficult mission awaits him Panathinaikos in the match with CSKA Moscow (2/12, 19:00), according to what Dimitris Priftis stated.

We have to be focused and catch high levels of performance, to look competitive in the first phase. We must have concentration and energy“, Initially stated the Dimitris Priftis.

There we have to do what we have said correctly and prevent some things. We are concerned about the rebound, CSKA is very good in the offensive rebound. There are several issues. If I had to focus on two it would be these. Obviously, the long shot will play an important role for both teams and especially for us».
For the belt defense that uses the rebounds part: “The belt is an occasional defense, we can not rely on it for the whole year. He helped us in specific moments. Theoretically, traditionally, it is said that the belt controls the rebounds, but this is not exactly the case. Many times you are out of position and it is not easy to box out, to the player you have in your space. This is a bit utopian, it’s not exactly like that. Either way, either man to man or belt, we have to make an effort, everyone in the team, not just the tall ones, to contribute to the rebound».
