It was last year, around this time, when Ergin Ataman he called his friends Panathinaikou to book a spot in the Final 4, even though his team still had a negative record at the time. The Turkish coach at the press conference for the renewal of the sponsorship partnership with Instacar did not want to be as bold, stressing that he will first have to be… convinced by his own team that he can reach as high as last season.
“Last year I said it because I had a big message from the beginning of the year from the team. This year I have to wait a little bit, I need the message from the team and the captain that we will be in the Final 4 again. We are working to get that message soon, but I am waiting for the message from the team“, he emphasized.
At the same time, he joked about the large turnout at the press conference. “In the press conferences of the matches we have 4-5 journalists, now he has so many. Instacar is more popular than us“, he said laughing and added: “Thank you for being here, the first season of our partnership with Instacar was combined with winning the championship and the Euroleague. I already met the owner, I know he loves the Bosphorus part as I do. We are glad that the cooperation will continue and I hope that the new season will be just as successful. Last year I was very happy with the team, but also with the cars they gave us».
