by

Panathinaikos coach Dimitris Priftis anointed Olympiakos as a favorite in the upcoming Euroleague derby based on points, who stood by the good mentality shown by his players in the match with Prometheus.

Details of what he said in the press conference:

– For the game with Prometheus: “Congratulations to the children, they played with a good mentality. We respected the opponent, it is a serious team and it plays in an organized way. From the moment coach Zouros took over, I think he will continue to improve. They had some absences in position 4 and it played a role. “We had energy in defense and the mood to pass the ball.”

– For the time of Nedovic’s participation: “On the one hand he stumbled, on the other hand we had the opportunity to do a good management of the roster. To play children who are training and need time in the games. “It was a good opportunity to manage and protect some players.”

– For the derby with Olympiakos in the Euroleague: “Every game is different. We expect it to be different. Certainly our presence in the Euroleague and respectively of Olympiacos, we do not need a favorite. Obviously because we play on our field we will have more confidence. It will definitely be different. Do not assume that we have no scoring interest. There is another interest and it is our dignity. No one wants to lose all the time. “We want to play hard in every game.”

– For his collaboration with Macon: “It’s a good partnership we have. We have our characters. He is a talented player, who has to go through a process. It is constantly improving. It has good nights, but it also has bad ones. It will be stabilized later. ”

– For Floyd: “Right now the team has found a chemistry in quotes. His injury left him behind. He is not ready for the match with Olympiakos. He has not trained “.

– Whether the Jovic case has progressed: “No, there is no newer one.”
