After the psychological uplift of the victory with Red Star, o Panathinaikos returned to disappointing results, knowing defeat by PAOK in Pylaia with a score of 81-73.
THE George Petridis talk to News Bulletin 247 for this appearance of the “greens”, which he characterized as “disheartening” but also as a result of the team’s poor planning. “The image of Panathinaikos against PAOK was heartbreaking. It took 24 years to lose to Aris and PAOK in Thessaloniki, and it happened this year. Of course, you can’t eradicate the pathogens from one day to the next and remove them from the group, it takes time and that’s why this image exists. I don’t know how much can be fixed, however, because the roster is badly built”commented specifically regarding the Pylaia match.
Asked then why the “greens” have not proceeded with a change of foreigner after the departure of Andrews, o Petridis emphasized that the Panathinaikos “He’s waiting to get as close to the playoffs as possible, in case some game-changing injury occurs by then. In the playoffs, he will have to declare a standard six with which he will travel. This is also a big problem of building the roster”.
Finally, regarding his team’s problems Christou Serelis in position “1”, the “green” reporter commented that “There is no playmaker, Walters is inconsistent and often absent with injuries. Lee has a deformity but it makes sense because he has been playing a lot lately. Anyway, it’s an opportunity for some players to show if they deserve to be in the team next year”.
