The… basketball season officially starts in Greece, with jamball taking place in Rhodes for the Super Cup (29-30/9), where Panathinaikos, Olympiacos, PAOK and Peristeri bwin they will claim the first title of the year.
In view of these games, o Ergin Ataman spoke at the press conference about the new season starting for the “greens”, the task of achieving chemistry, injuries and also the goals of the team.
In detail what he said:
“After the difficult period that Panathinaikos went through, we are “rebuilding” the team. We got a lot of good players and good characters. Now we should be ready. Let’s play good basketball. The preparation period was short and we didn’t work as we wanted, but we should be ready. The organization of Panathinaikos is very large. We have respect for all our opponents.
We are glad to be here. We will have fun, we will give our best. We have big goals for Panathinaikos and I hope we will make our friends happy who have high expectations. It’s two matches and neither team is ready. We want to win but that is not our main goal. But we want to start the season in the best way.
We made a lot of transfers and we are working to play good basketball. We need work and at the end of the season we will see what we have achieved. It will be an advantage for Olympiakos that they changed only 3-4 players, but there is one ball, one basketball and I don’t think it will be difficult to build the team. Everyone knows that defense is important and that’s where it all starts.
We had some injuries in the last training session, we will talk to the doctors and then we will decide who and if they will play in the semi-final and then in the final”.
