THE Colossus of Rhodes made his best appearance this season, but finally lost in the details 91-84 by Panathinaikos in the indoor Kallithea and went to the break of the championship as a tailback, with only 1 win in 7 games.
After the match, George Sigalas he said that his team showed that it has the potential to play well, especially against such a quality opponent as the “clover”. At the same time, he said that after the break his team will have a difficult month to turn around the situation against him.
His statements in detail:
On what impressions the game leaves him: “That we have the potential, after we come back from the break we will have a very difficult month with consecutive games, to turn the situation in our favor. We were unlucky in the first games of the league, but I think our performance today was good regardless of whether Panathinaikos were on the gas or not. Panathinaikos is a huge team with terrible alternatives. Some details today deprived us of victory, because we were playing in red. I believe that this is the only way you can claim victory against Panathinaikos, especially if they are also more relaxed. We are neither crazy nor schizophrenic, I am interested in giving 100% in every match. In the end our main weapons got tired, we also missed some easy baskets. But even if the result was positive for us, it would only be a matter of points for me.”
For the next games after the break: “We have to improve our defense, we have to be tougher, we have to distribute the game like we did today and all the players have to take their responsibilities in the game. We have to be aggressive in defense, in attack we are aggressive, we believe in ourselves and we take what the opponent gives us”.
