Panathinaikos head coach Dusko Ivanovic talked at the press conference after the match against Rethymno: “I’m very satisfied with the win, because we got it against a very good team. When preparing for the match we saw that they do a great job as a team and have much talent. I’m not satisfied with some of my players, because they didn’t have the right attitude and the required concentration for this match. After the game with Armani Milan I said that I have players who want to get better game by game, but it seems that I don’t know my players well yet. Congratulations to Rethymno coach on the very good team he’s built.”
As for the fact that Dimitris Diamantidis played very much he said: “It was not an easy match. Although we had taken the lead, they could turn the match around at any moment so we needed Diamantidis more minutes on the court.”
A. J. Slaughter talked on behalf of his teammates: “It was a difficult game; the lesson learned is that we have to play well for 40 minutes and be totally concentrated.”
