Priftis: “We are not indifferent, we want as many victories as we can”

His stigma Panathinaikos OPAP for the continuation of his obligations in the Euroleague was given by Dimitris Priftis in the press conference he gave in view of tomorrow (1/2) at home of the “clover” match with Monaco.

“The situation is difficult, but we are managing it. We have some concerns, we try to manage it. Papagiannis returns, we lose Ioannis for a while. Obviously, Papagiannis’s return needs to be managed, as well as the use of Jovic. The fact that Makon is absent for a significant period of time creates some peculiarities in the use of Nedovic. “We have to be careful there”, he initially stated regarding the injury problems of Panathinaikos.

As much as on whether there is a timetable for solving the “green” problems, Priftis stressed that: “Look, other things are coming, which have to do with, say, the weather conditions or the coronavirus. We suffered a lot last week with the weather, it hurts all the teams and Covid-19 all over Europe. This applies to all teams to some degree. It also applies to us. The roster we have now is somewhat limited. “This has its pros and cons.”

Asked about Monaco, the Greek coach replied that: “It is a complete team, with players in all positions, experience and athleticism. Her harvest so far is remarkable, she has done very well in victories. Obviously, it is in very good condition. We are also taking some steps forward, despite the difficulties. It will be a difficult game. ”

For the motivation of Panathinaikos OPAP in the Euroleague noted that: “We want to stand on the field and we show this in our last games. We are not indifferent. A similar question has been asked again. We are not 100% indifferent. We want to present ourselves right in relation to ourselves and competitive in order to claim as many victories as we can. At the same time, of course, we know where the point is to focus and accordingly we make a relevant management, as long as we are allowed “.

End, regarding Stefan Jovic Priftis stressed that: “Clearly he is a very experienced player, who understands what is happening on the field and can lead the game where it should be and there is an advantage. At the same time, he is still a player who had been out for a long time. It takes a while for him to get in the right physical condition, to get a competitive rhythm and to feel the confidence that a player needs, to play big matches “.
