Petridis: “Worrying that Panathinaikos did not fight it in the city – Ataman is also to blame”

The… poorly written from the very heavy defeat of Panathinaikou AKTOR from Anatolou Efes, with 93-67, recorded in his air News Bulletin 247 George Petridis

“The image of Panathinaikos in the City is disheartening, but the worrying thing for me is that they did not fight it. And last year he lost matches, but he had managed to make up his problems. We said that this year things will be more difficult, everyone wants to win the European champion. Ataman has a lot of things to fix, the responsibility falls on him too. The biggest issue for the coach is that he hasn’t found the right formations, the fives he chooses don’t stick together. He goes into formations either too aggressive or too defensive. This is the main thing to correct and find psychology. Let’s see how it will go in the next period, Panathinaikos, with the exception of the absence of Grigonis, will be complete“, he noted among other things.

The station’s reporter expressed his wonder at the fact that Ataman did not use Kalaitzakis earlier than the 27th minuteat a time when the “greens” had huge problems in their defense.

At the same time, Petridis pointed out that last year at this time, Panathinaikos AKTOR was in a similar situation, having a worse image this year, of course, but also that, since we are in December, nothing has been lost yet.

While he appreciated that it will be very difficult for the “seven star” to move to acquire a playerin order to fill the gap of Grigonis.
