Panathinaikos and Olympiakos They know each other very well, as the coach of the “clover”, Dimitris Priftis, said on Nova’s camera in view of the derby of the “eternals” for the 30th game of the Euroleague (17/3, 21:00).
In detail what he stated:
– For the game with Olympiakos: “Both we and Olympiacos know each other quite well. After three games we have faced this year, the pros and cons have been identified. So clearly there is a database for us (the technical staffs) but also for the players. The element of surprise does not exist much. “Especially now that we have several absences and Olympiakos has a few training sessions to prepare due to the continuous games”.
– On whether the one who wants it the most will win: “I believe that both Panathinaikos and Olympiakos want it just as much. Beyond that, the ability, the bonding of a team, its chemistry, its rhythm and the condition of the players play a role. The focal point is the long shot and can give extra impetus to the one who will be more accurate. “I think the ‘I want’ element is the same for both to the same degree.”
– For the headquarters factor: “The headquarters always plays a role but it can also be double-edged. On the one hand it creates stress for the host, on the other hand the atmosphere helps. I would say that this plays a small role anyway “.
– For the difficulties faced by Panathinaikos in its preparation for the “eternal” derby: “The preparation has to do with the mood of the days and the mood of the players we have on the field. Obviously in the second half we were not happy to have all the players available. Now we are starting to gather and I hope today to do a regular workout. Of course, it is not enough but we will be better than the previous match when we went down almost nine “.
– For the new era of Greek basketball and for the mutual respect we have seen in the last derbies: “What has happened is a good start. May all the actors of these games converge in this direction. It would be a joy for all of us. “
