Priftis: “I have my mind on SEF”

THE Dimitris Priftis In his statements to ERT’s camera after the victory of Panathinaikos against Kolossos Rhodes, he said that he is still thinking about the derby with Olympiakos, he stood by the obvious improvement of the “greens” in the second half, where he led to the final 88-64.

The former coach of Unics Kazan emphasized that in the second ten minutes Panathinaikos did not live up to the circumstances, but in the second half through transiton in the attack easy baskets were created, while it was mentioned that the main component is the consequence:

«Especially in the second ten minutes we were not good, no one could see it. We then raised the volume, it was also a matter of energy and long shot. We gave them creation, especially to Xanthopoulos but when we increased the tension in the second half, we changed the game of Kolossos, we ran on the field, we put some easy baskets. At some point you think things are easy, but that is not the case. You have to be serious. We have to adopt the image of the second half, to be more serious with duration. The same happened with Olympiakos, we had these ups and downs again».

And he continued in the same atmosphere: “We can not hide behind excuses. Especially when we show two faces it is something that worries us. We miss Jovic a lot, we had to leave Perry, Bohoridis was also missing and we are trying to fill the ace’s position internally“, Stressed the Greek coach.

Of course, he did not hide that his mind is on the last game of the Euroleague and that the next derby is a few days away:

“We still have days for this game, I still have my mind on the SEF match,” he said simply.

In the end, he commented on the returns of Papapetros and Bohoridis, while assuring that Jovic will be out for a while:

«We are waiting for Papapetrou, Bohoridis will return in the next 2-3 days, Jovic still has a future“, Concluded Priftis.
