In the appearance of the brothers Kalaitzakis and Bohorides in the second half, he stood after the defeat of Bayern Munich by Panathinaikos, the coach of the Bavarians, Andrea Trinchieri.
The Italian coach emphasized that the bad defense and the many mistakes cost his team, while he then described this season as very difficult, due to the many injuries that affected his roster.
What the Bayern coach said in detail:
“Congratulations to Panathinaikos for their victory. We didn’t start the game well, we weren’t solid in attack, we made a lot of unforced errors and that cost us. On the contrary, the second unit of Panathinaikos with Bohorides, the Kalaitzakis brothers, did very well. They played hard in defense, they made the difference and we were not prepared for something like that. We had a chance to come back, but we didn’t succeed in the end.”.
About Bayern not being in the playoffs: “Many factors play a role. The Euroleague is very competitive. There are 17 teams and only eight spots available. Teams with history in European basketball such as Panathinaikos, Maccabi and Zalgiris have not succeeded. For us, the point guard is out, Rubit is out for the season, Lucic is out for a long time, Hunter is out, so the scenario is clear. We had a difficult season with many injuries. We never thought we could make the playoffs. I say again. The situation is clear”.
