After the Victory of Panathinaikos Aktor over Bayern Munichthe Ergkin Ataman He appeared restrained, stressing that his team is not yet at the desired level of readiness. Despite the positive image, the “greens” technician pointed out that there is a road ahead.
On the sidelines of his statements, he also stood in the presence of Nikos Rogavopoulos and Vassilis Toliopouloscommenting on their contribution and the role they can have after the season.
In detail what he said at the press conference:
“It’s the beginning of the season and we’re not ready to play good basketball. We did three workouts together and so we couldn’t finish the match until the last 6-7 minutes. In the first period we made many mistakes in defense, in team defense. Many slow spins in defense. After the first period the defense improved but aggressively, with the exception of some attacks by Nan, Rogavopoulos and Grand, we did not turn the ball properly. I am not satisfied with how we played, but it is important that we started Euroleague with a win.
This is not our ceiling, what we showed in the parquet. We played in our 50%. We won the game with steals in defense and individual talent, especially Nan. We need to improve our team game. There is no bad team at Euroleague. Bayern played very well.
Rogavopoulos was in Australia with the team, adapted and was ready, especially with the absence of Osman. We have many guards, some players will not play in some games. We can’t play with four players with four guards in one match with 12 players. Toliopoulos is a great player, but he will wait for his time. This is the reality of basketball. We can’t split 10 minutes into four guards”
