THE Fotis Ioannidis in the statements he gave he first mentioned that the “clover” had a mediocre competitive image throughout the match both as a whole and as individual players, adding at the same time that in such a group every point is important, as well as the fact that Panathinaikos does not lose.

Fotis Ioannidis’ statements in detail:

On the image he has for the match: “We knew it was going to be a tough game, our performance wasn’t particularly good, we were average throughout the game as a whole, but also as individual players. This allowed Maccabi to become more threatening and control the game, which we didn’t want, but in the end I think it’s a very important point because we’re in the groups and not in some knockout phase. It’s a group where every point is important, and we don’t lose».

For back-to-back games: “The program is heavy. There is fatigue, but as I have said before, this is our job, we are professionals and we are called to play every 3-4 days and be ready to help the team.

To keep Panathinaikos in the first two places of the group: “They are on our feet, we have a very good team and we know that we have a lot of room for improvement, because every day we improve and find a better rhythm and I believe that in the next games we will be even more ready to face teams of this level».
