Serelis: “All we can do is work to be ready for the finals”

by

The Pigeon bwin showed a great reaction and won comfortably with a score of 73-58 Panathinaikostying the Basket League semifinal series at 1-1.

After the match, Christos Sereliscoach of the “greens”, referred to the very poor performance of the team and its mental unpreparedness, while he emphasized that Panathinaikos must work very hard to be ready for the finals.

His statements in detail:

“Congratulations to Peristeri for the game. We were sure how he will react today after losing the previous game. Unfortunately we have done it many times this year, after a good and promising performance we do not perform as we should. And I think that purely mentally the game was lost, beyond any tactical approach. Mentally, we appeared completely unprepared for the match.”

For the bad image in the defense: “It was not only the defensive part that we appeared unprepared, where we also made mistakes, but while we knew that Peristeri would put its hands and body and try to stop us in the attack, we did not appear as we should have and it can be seen in the percentages and in the choices that we were not good. We had a lot of nervousness offensively and we basically tried to either the more experienced players and the more talented offensively, pulling the other guys, to do things beyond what we’ve said and worked on and that’s what increased the difference. We were bad defensively, we allowed 73 points on defense, but I say again that mentally we were wrong.”

On whether there is any explanation for the “emptying” of the group: “There are many explanations and we can give many interpretations. But this is neither the time nor the time to give any interpretation. Now we are in the semi-finals and what counts is to appear in the final where we want to go, the more ready we are, to claim the championship. It’s the year and the explanations are discussed in the team, but we can’t do anything other than work and present ourselves at the end as we want.”
