Mandzoukas: “I will do what the coach asks me – Let’s be careful with Alba”

THE Panathinaikos returns to European competition, facing her Alba in Berlin (10/11, 21:00) for the 7th matchday of the Euroleague.

THE Lefteris Mantzoukas spoke from the “Mercedes Benz Arena” about whether he is ready in case he is called upon to fill his void Juanchofor Alba but also for him Kendrick Nunn.

In detail what he said:

On whether he’s ready to fill Huatso’s void: “Certainly what happened with Juancho was very unfortunate, we are all saddened and I wish him well. From there, I’m ready to do whatever my coach asks me to do to help the team.”

For Alba: “They are a team that runs a lot in transition and looks for free shots. It’s a team you can hardly put down. We have to limit them as much as possible and beat them in set play. The Euroleague has shown many times that it is full of surprises. We have to be careful, as in all away games.”

For Nan: “We are trying to fit him into the team as much as we can. It’s hard to play a certain way of playing on Tuesday and then on Wednesday to be in a completely different mood. I believe he will do his best to help the team.”
