Kalaitzakis: “Let’s say goodbye to the Euroleague season with a win and thank the people”

The… disgusting after the useful Panagiotis wants Kalaitzakis to combine the Panathinaikos in the game against Alba Berlin, at the OAKA stadium tomorrow (7/4) evening.

“In our last home game for the Euroleague we really want to get the win and thank the fans who will come to the stadium“, emphasized the international forward, representing his teammates at the usual press conference.

Asked about her defensive improvement pointing to the “clover”, Kalaitzakis noted: “The coach emphasizes on a daily basis that the defense should not depend on the attack, that is, on whether the shots will go in or not. And so it should be. That’s how basketball is. One day the shots will go in and the next day they won’t. The defense and the energy have to be there every day, both in training and in matches.”.

While regarding the Berlin Alba he commented that “they’re a team that runs the open field, that shoots a lot. It has players who have been playing together for several years. They started the season very well, they shocked several teams at the beginning including us as they beat us by a big margin. They certainly didn’t have the same course afterwards. We want to do our best with the aim of saying goodbye to the Euroleague season at our home ground in the best possible way».

Finally, to a question about whether he sees tomorrow’s match as one chance to get revenge from the German team, Kalaitzakis replied: “The game doesn’t have any points incentive for either team, so definitely getting revenge on them, in quotes, and getting a prestige win is important for us. This is our goal.”
