Ergin Ataman: We Are Only Thinking About Fenerbahce
Ahead of the EuroLeague match against Fenerbahce Beko, Panathinaikos head coach Ergin Ataman and player Cedi Osman made statements.
Fenerbahce Has Shown Great Performance
“Fenerbahce has shown a fantastic performance so far. The only exception to this performance was their home loss against Kizilyildiz. However, they have secured significant victories against Olympiakos and Anadolu Efes. We have important players injured in our roster, especially in the forward rotation. However, we have a deep squad for this reason. We will be heading into this challenging away game to win.”
We Have Issues at the Small Forward Position
“Every tactic has different challenges. We are not hesitant to use lineups with three guards and tall players. We played many games this way last season. We do have issues at the small forward position, but we can use our power forwards in that role as well.”
We Are Thinking About Fenerbahce
“We will play to win. Every match is different and also difficult. Right now, we are only thinking about Fenerbahce.”
EuroLeague’s Best Point Guard
“Kostas Sloukas had injury problems last season as well, but he is an experienced player. I think he is finding himself more and more every day. In my opinion, he is currently the best point guard in the EuroLeague, as he showed in the Final Four where he won the MVP award.”
