His coming Ergin Ataman but also of many quality players has changed the data in Panathinaikos AKTORwhich is tied for third place Euroleague after 26 games, leaving behind the bad seasons of the past.
THE Turk technician has never hidden that he is optimistic and has high aspirations. He showed exactly the same in an interview with the Turkish television network “S Sport”, where he gave an interview after the victory of the “greens” over Fenerbahce.
THE Ataman commented on many topics, such as the atmosphere in OAKAthe appearance against Fener and the recent defeat by Marswhile he did not fail to mention his friend’s football club Panathinaikos Fatih Terim!
In detail what he said:
About the atmosphere at OAKA: “Given our progress both in the championship, where we have beaten Olympiakos twice, and with the consecutive victories in the Euroleague, the fans of Panathinaikos create an amazing atmosphere. What I want to say is that with the goodness of this OAKA atmosphere, I will also take it to Berlin.”
For the match with Fenerbahçe: “Against Fener, we didn’t play well, Fener had a good tactic, but we also found solutions in defense and with Kalaitzakis in some attacks and we got an important victory”, pointed out Ataman. “Also don’t forget that we have absences, such as Slukas, this creates a problem for us in the rotation, but we find solutions.”
On the recent loss to Aris: “No defeat is good, but the defeat by Aris in the OAKA was an auspicious defeat, because we thought and believed that we would not lose a match. It was good for us. But such a defeat made us focus quickly on the match against Fener. He gave us motivation for the match against Fener. It is very important that after the match with Aris this atmosphere was created and it gave the players a boost.”
For Panathinaikos football team: “I watch the matches of Panathinaikos and Terim. I will also go to a football match of Panathinaikos, now in Greece for two months the matches are being held without spectators. Of course, if I want to go, I can go, but the atmosphere of Panathinaikos friends is missing. Terim started very well, there was a sympathy of the people of Panathinaikos with the former coach, but he managed to “break” it. He managed twice to “win” derbies with Olympiakos and that was very, very important. Important league matches are coming up, he came to see us twice. And when the measures are finally lifted, I will go to a match to see the Terim team. The football Panathinaikos and the basketball team may have different administrations, but the atmosphere, that of OAKA, is the same in football as well”.
