Speaking on the ‘Greens’ Media Day Panagiotis Kalaitzakisreferred to the great overthrow over Maccabi, the match with the French, but also to the draw of the national team to Eurobasket 2025.



In detail the statements by Panagiotis Kalaitzakis:



“Certainly, although the regular duration ends, we have played fire several times and this has brought us some good results such as yesterday’s game. We got a very big win, we returned from the -15 in the final minutes. We have also taken a big home home, where we have again returned to the last period. But we have lost some of us who wanted to get, as with Armani Milan. It is different with Olympiacos. We definitely want to win all the games and some away home where we know we have to write the double. We have definitely got some away wins in some big seats. We have kept our own seat unbeaten in recent months. This is what we want to do tomorrow and celebrate a very important victory. It’s a final for us. It will be a very difficult game. “

For the psychology of the group at home and if it changes in relation to the off: “Of course the world counts and in my opinion it is the main factor. He is our sixth player from last year to this year. Almost all games, if I’m not mistaken, the home is sold out. Tomorrow we will play in yet another game in full of OAKA for another home win. Paris is a very dangerous team. Started very well the season. It plays a different style of play, it has made it difficult for all Euroleague teams. We know how dangerous team they are, we know their trumps and we are properly prepared to stop them. “

For what defense Paris needs: “Paris plays a different style of play. You won’t see many systems, you won’t see many passes, a lot of cuts. You will see a lot of transition, a lot of shots in surprise, a lot of shots with one pass or no pass. We must definitely stop the transition, put the world on the pitch. If we do this, I think we will get another home win. “

For the draw of the National Team: “Difficult. Very difficult group for another summer, like the previous one. They do not count, we do not care who we will face. Let’s come first in the summer, we will be properly prepared, we have the right mentality, we have personalities and characters to reach the medal zone and celebrate a distinction that we have for many years to celebrate. If not now when? “

For the fact that they will play in Cyprus: “We will surely have several fans. Both Cypriots and Greeks. We will actually play at home, so when you play in Greece with the National Team it is something special. It is a great and special price. We all want to represent our country at a high level and bring to Greece. “
