This evening the Panathinaikos will be a guest of Virtus Bologna at the Segafredo Arena. So spoke coach Ergin Ataman towards the race. “I expect a difficult match. It is a very important match for both teams… The last three matches of the regular season will be like finals. We are now in second place and our objective is to try to defend it. I have enormous respect for coach Banchi, Virtus has many experienced players and they play at home. At home we play differently than away. I expect a difficult match, we have to play as a team, distribute the ball and certainly play an aggressive defense like we did against OAKA “.
And he continues: “It will be important to have options in all positions in terms of playing time and minutes. How we present ourselves will be even more important, hoping that all players are available. Sometimes we all play and we are not good. Sometimes we play with six players, as has happened in the last 2-3 games, and we are at 90% of our performance and we have won the games.”
