Grant: “I see Panathinaikos in the Final 4 – Everything I needed this team”

Glad to have found on Panathinaikos AKTOR the environment he was looking for stated o Jerian Grant in an interview with Mozzart Sport. The American guard emphasized that the upcoming period will be critical for his team in the Euroleague, starting with tonight’s match against Red Star, but he expressed the belief that he can cope and estimated that he will be in the Final 4.

In detail, Jerian Grant talked about:

-tonight’s match: “We expect a difficult game. No match in the EuroLeague is easy and no team is going to give us the victory… so. Especially a team like Red Star playing in this atmosphere. They have nothing to lose, unlike us, and that’s why we have to be very focused and come out and give 100%.”

-the course of the Red Star: “Some things didn’t go as they would have liked, they had some injury problems, they changed coaches and made some adjustments. With all this together it’s not easy to succeed, it’s difficult.”

– the course of Panathinaikos: “It’s nice for me because you don’t often get a chance to play in the playoffs. We have shown our quality so far, but in the next few days, starting with the Red Star game, it is an opportunity to show what kind of team we really are. I believe we are ready for the challenge and we are looking forward to the next games.”

-his predictions for the Final 4: “The season has been fantastic so far, every game is important and all teams are playing to win, no matter where they are. There will be interest until the end, but I see Real, Panathinaikos, Fenerbahce and Monaco going to the Final 4.”

-his own presence at Panathinaikos: “It was all I needed, to find a team where the coach and the fans believe in me. I already knew what I could do, I just wanted the right environment to show it. In Athens I found what I needed, Panathinaikos gave me the opportunity and as you can see things are going well for both sides so far”.
