About the game of Panathinaikos against Olympiakos at OAKA (6/10, 21:15) for the premiere of the Euroleague, he spoke Matias Lessor.
The French center stood, among other things, in the world of “greens”, saying that he should give reasons to go to the stadium, while he also stated excited for the start of the leading European interclub basketball event.
His statements in detail:
“There is a lot of excitement about the start of the season and the fact that we are facing Olympiakos makes us even more excited. Everyone wants to fight on the floor and show a different image than the one we had last weekend.
Sometimes you don’t need time to be a fighter on the floor. You obviously made a lot of mistakes to lose by such a big margin. We saw our mistakes. The crowd will give us a boost and we want to show them why they should be with us all season.
Panathinaikos has one of the best fan bases in all of Europe. Obviously in recent years the team did not offer them the desired results, so the people did not support the team as they used to. We have to give them reasons to come to the stadium, starting with this game.
I don’t know if the passion and militancy that Mr. Giannakopoulos asked for is enough, but yes we have to give everything we have on the floor. Everyone realizes, it’s not nuclear physics after all, that basketball is a game of persistence and patience. At the end of the day you have to fight for every ball, every possession, every defense.”
