Ergin Ataman, the head coach of Panathinaikos, spoke before the game against Olympiacos in the 29th round of the EuroLeague.
“It will be different for both teams regarding the Greek Cup final. Olympiacos will play with their EuroLeague roster, meaning with more foreign players. We won’t have Luca Vildoza.
We didn’t perform well in the Greek Cup final. The score was low for both teams, and we lost. We’ve played five derbies so far, lost outright in the Super Cup and the Cup, went to overtime in the EuroLeague, but won two. The score is 3:2 in favor of Olympiacos. I hope we won’t be opponents in the EuroLeague playoffs, as if everything goes smoothly, we’ll be opponents in the playoff finals in the Greek League. I hope we won’t be opponents in the EuroLeague playoffs, it would be too many games.”
