THE Christos Serelis gave his mark ahead of the match (31/3, 21:30) of Panathinaikou by Olympic for the 32nd matchday of the Euroleague.

The coach of the “greens” pointed out that his team is trying not to have the negative streak in mind and focused on the strong points of Piraeus.

Regarding the elements that the “clover” should have, he commented: “we have to be focused on defense for 24″».

The Greek technician emphasized: “I think everyone in the team knows how important these games are, regardless of whether they don’t have anything to offer us in points… But they have something to do with how we can face Olympiakos in future games that may arise in the league».

What he said in detail

For the negative streak against Olympiakos: “We try not to even think about this streak. I think the same is true with the people at Olympiakos and the way they approach the derby. I mentioned earlier, games are special to us. And precisely because we are talking about a special game, we must try to win it with all our strength. There will always be the eternal rivalry regardless of the state of the teams… Every game is special and many times during the match, the result is determined by the psychology of each team against the other.».

For the image of Panathinaikos: “It is clear that my team must be very strong in defense. They must be very focused. I’ve said it many times. The best and strongest point of Olympiakos is not the plays it executes but the way it manages the situation after the plays. So we have to be focused on defense for 24″, that’s very important.

The second part is that he has found ways, with his defense and turnovers, to trouble all teams. We have to strike at the right spot, with the right options, so that we don’t give Olympiakos easy baskets. This has happened many times during the year… A seven or eight minutes of Olympiakos changed the game».

On the importance of such a fight: “I think everyone in the team knows how important these games are, regardless of whether they don’t have anything to offer us in points… But they have something to do with how we can face Olympiakos in future games that may arise in the league».
