What Ergin Ataman said in detail:
– for his promises to the world of Panathinaikos: “It was a big challenge that we promised the Final 4. Panathinaikos is one of the most successful teams in Europe. I am proud that we are here. I wish all Panathinaikos friends enjoy F4. What can I promise now? I know everyone is waiting for the 7th star. I promise them that we will have it at OAKA».
– for the match against Fenerbahce: “This is not a national team event. I am a Turkish coach and I represent my country, as well as the Greek team, in which I am. Opposite is a Lithuanian coach. These are not the important ones. The important thing is that we will play against a great team, Fenerbahce. I respect the Fenerbahce team and people. I don’t have a lot of emotions, I’m experienced in the Final Four, I’ve won the trophy twice. I will try to get it again. I respect my colleagues, who are fighting for the same».
– for what Panathinaikos needs in the Final Four: “We chose good players, with good character, we worked properly. It doesn’t matter if you have 1 or 12 new players for me. We’ve never been afraid to set big goals. We are in F4. When you get here, the goal is to get the title. This is our goal now».
– about the fact that Panathinaikos went to the first F4 after Obradovic and if they broke the… curse: “No, I don’t believe in them, only in my team and players. They believed in me. It’s a new era».
