At the disposal of Dimitris Priftis Ioannis Papapetrou and Okaro White were nominated for the match against Alba (10/12, 21:00), as mentioned by the coach of Panathinaikos.
Alongside, the 53-year-old technician He stressed that what happened to Nedovic was a pity, while he clarified that he does not look at the Euroleague score at all.
Details of what he said on the team’s media day:
– For the problems of Panathinaikos and the absences: “These are some things that we have to manage. It is a pity what happened to Nedovic. He returned to his good condition in the week with the game with Olympiakos and then we lost Ioannis for several days. We lost Okaro for five days, Ioannis stayed out for a long time. Certainly, these players are not in the situation we would like. They will be present tomorrow. But, this present must be put in quotation marks. Obviously, Nedovic’s absence is quite significant. Nevertheless, from the inside we will try to be competitive. We play on our field. We want to be tough, especially spiritually and play a good game. ”
– On Nedovic’s injury and whether there was any intention on Nikolaidis’ part: “No, for God’s sake. I do not think. No no. Alas. To say it is a carelessness or an excessive aggression in defense. This is legitimate for every player. I do not think so, no. For God’s sake”.
– For Alba Berlin: “It’s a special team, it plays its game no matter what, either losing 20 points or gaining 20 points. She is good at playing and reading. He does not think it will be at -20 or -15. They do not think about this psychological part. It is a team that plays with minimal stress. This is her weapon. That’s why everyone plays better and shoots better. They have speed. Of course, they have also made important victories. ”
– On whether he looks at the score of Panathinaikos: “I do not look at her, because I’m disappointed. I think it is a pity that we have played five games, in which we could have made at least 2-3 victories. But I understand that this crisis as a result is a real condition. We are judged by the results and the results are not good. But I can not accept this logic, this well-known “beam and inside you are good, beam and outside you are bad”. We try, we improve. We now have these misfortunes to deal with. Undoubtedly our results are not good and that makes us sad. We are all together and we do the best we can “.
