Dimitris Priftis took the responsibility for the last phase that he judged and the match.

The coach of Panathinaikos stated that the plan was for the ball to go to Makon but in the end he was not executed with the result that Papapetrou took the responsibility.

“I have involvement and responsibility in the last phase. The ball ended up in Ioannis and he clearly took the responsibility. But, something else was planned to be done and the ball went to Macon with a plan, which was not executed. That’s why Ioannis ended up getting this difficult shot “, he said.

Details of what the coach of the “clover” said in the press conference of the match:



“It simply came to our notice then. We fought, we tried, based on how we can try. Sure, we mismanaged the last occupation. We had the opportunity to find a better shot. It is what it is. We have to move on, we do not have much to say. ”

For the improvement of George Papagiannis and Ferrell:



“As for the first leg, George is in better shape, but the important thing is for the team to win. Certainly, playing better gives us more chances to win. It must be stabilized. As for the second, Unics had high figures. We in the guards are very short for such teams. I had to make a choice on who to use. Perry also found some rhythm in the end. I also chose to give Nedovic the opportunity to enter the game, even for these 3 ‘. “That’s why I did not give Ferrell the opportunity to play.”

For Papapetros’ three-pointer in the final and the fact that he seemed to have the intention to pass:



“I have involvement and responsibility in the last phase. The ball ended up in Ioannis and he clearly took the responsibility. But, something else was planned to be done and the ball went to Macon with a plan, which was not executed. That’s why Ioannis ended up getting this difficult shot “.

For what happened to the “clover” before the last phase:



“Two – three possessions and two – three details in both attack and defense. Lorenzo Brown also scored a decisive shot at the end. There were crucial moments, like that foul behind the board. In general, I think they were small details, which we did not manage well. We did not have a good long shot, especially in the second half “.

For the continuation of Panathinaikos and what it is thinking of doing, in view of the games with Zalgiris and Bayern:



“First we have to beat AEK in two days. This is what I am thinking now in the first phase. I think about how we will improve and how we will play better, more disciplined, more organized, with more concentration. We have to tie. At the moment we do not look tied, we have gaps. We do not play well, we do not play what I want, it is obvious. We try both in training and in games. I have nothing to say, work. “First I think of AEK”.

For pressure from the world:



“People are helping us. It helps us, it is positive. He comes and helps us. We react, we try and we did it with PAOK. We had a different mentality. But the levels of the games are also different and we have to raise our level. How is this going to happen; With work. It is not possible to change faces. With work. The problem is also spiritual, we have successive defeats and that definitely affects us “.
