Tomislav Mijatovic spoke very flatteringly about Panathinaikos and Ergin Ataman. The Croatian coach of Efes has been on the side of the Turkish coach in previous years in the Istanbul team, but now they will be rivals.
“We are getting ready to play at home against the reigning EuroLeague champions who have one of the most successful coaches in the competition. We will be playing against a great basketball organization and a great culture. This match provides great motivation not only for us, but also for our team, as well as our fans who we expect to express themselves in the best way. With our fans supporting us for 40 minutes, we will do our best to finish the match with a home win“, he stated.
For his part, the team’s Latvian power forward, Rolands Schmitzsaid: “Panathinaikos is a very dynamic and experienced team. The current European champion as well. They have talented players and play very good basketball. We have to show up ready for a fight and I think we are. We have to pay a lot of attention to their dangerous players and I think everything will go well for us».
