Real Madrid-Panathinaikos AKTOR: Return with the goal of overcoming

After the break for the Cup and National teamEuroleague action returns for Panathinaikos AKTOR with a very demanding game.

The “greens” are hosted by Real in Madrid (9:45 p.m., NovaSports Prime, sport-fm.gr, News Bulletin 247) for the 27th matchday of the competition, wanting to make the breakthrough in order to continue the course of the top four. His team Ergin Ataman has a record of 16-10 and played her last European match 20 days ago, when she got a pivotal pink card (74-63) over Lantern in the crowded OAKA, as a result of which it is established in the positions that lead to the home advantage.

Since then, however, things did not go well, since o Panathinaikos AKTOR lost the first big goal of the year, the Cup, to Olympic, showing a competitive face throughout the tournament that certainly troubled. The fact that most of the “green” players were integrated into the their national team it certainly didn’t help to get the necessary “breaths”, so for the “clover” a very difficult period begins, where there should be management of fatigue but also better performance.

On the other hand, for Real things went the other way around. The Madrid players, who, apart from a shocking prospect, have cleared the lead, were defeated in their last match Euroleague with a score of 81-76 from the Armani in Milan, although the impressive 22-4 record leaves no room for doubt. Since then, the “queen” has also picked up Copa del Rey in Spain easily winning the clasico, so she returns to her duties with… wings on her feet.

Data, for him Panathinaikos AKTOR, as for any team, this game is the most demanding in the Euroleague calendar. In fact, the work of the “greens” is made difficult by his absence Luka Vildosa due to discomfort in the knee, but also from his Costa Antetokounmpo who hit in the National match against the Netherlands and will also not play.

It is also worth noting that the team’s flight was delayed in arriving in Madrid, as a result of which Tuesday’s (27/02) training session at Real’s auxiliary stadium was missed. Let us remember, moreover, that the Moraitis, Kalaitzakis, Antetokounmpo and Mantzoukas they traveled to Spain directly from the Netherlands where Greece had obligations, just like the international ones of course Hernangometh, Balcherowski and Lessor, but also Ataman, with the result that the expedition that traveled from “El. Venizelos” to consist of six players.

The game was appointed to be conducted by Matej Bolthauser (Slovenia), Emin Mogulkoc (Turkey) and Joseph Bisang (France).
