Osman: ‘We know what we’re capable of – All our players are really talented’

Panathinaikos AKTOR is preparing for its home match against Barcelona (3/12, 21:15), with Chedi Osman to make it clear that everyone in the ranks of the “greens” knows what they are capable of achieving!

In detail what he said:



“Obviously we’re struggling a bit. We know what we have to do and we know what kind of team we are. Obviously last year I wasn’t here when we won the championship and the Euroleague, but we were winning with our defense. We know this is the most important thing for us right now and we will fix it. Tomorrow is a very important game for us and a great challenge. We will play against a very good team, a team that plays at a high pace. We’ll have to run back and be patient defensively and offensively.”.

For Barcelona’s absences: “There are always those who will step up and when someone is missing, someone else will come into the game. It doesn’t matter who plays and who doesn’t, what matters is what we do. We are focused on ourselves and I think if we play our game we will have a good chance but like I said, we have to trust the system and we have to be patient.”.

On what he thinks is Panathinaikos’ biggest problem right now: “So far we’ve had a lot of ups and downs. It was a period when we played well and a period where we did not play at the highest level. It’s basketball. Tomorrow is a good day to come here and in front of our fans to play our best basketball and start a winning streak. We have a great squad, all our players are really talented and we know what we are capable of. We just have to remember that we are last year’s champions and we have to play like that all the time.”.
