Panathinaikos won Panelefsiniakos and Argyris Pedoulakis declared happy to see his players winning and at the same time he found the way to rotate his players during the game.
"Our priority was to win the game. Our secondary goal was to give time on the floor to all our players. We have 4 games in 10 days including Friday's game against Barcelona. We were able to rest some of the players. We performed well during the first half. We were able to run and we did the things we wanted to do. In the second half our mind wasn't here and it's something that makes sense. I wish Panelefsiniakos good luck and personally to Yorgos (Skarafigkas)".
Vladimir Jankovic stated at the press conference: "For us today's game was important heading to difficult games. We wanted to perform well in order to stay in rhythm. I wish Panalefsiniakos all the best".
Yorgos Skarafigkas (coach, Panelefsiniakos) noted: "We had to face a great club. This game was important for us as far as our defense concerns. We know that only through defense we can w and in the games coming up next. Our only win is the return of Thomas Nikou and we wish that Faye and Magkounis return in action. They are two players we need. It will be a "trap" for us to stay in the third quarter, when we took advantage of the fact that Panathinaikos got a little bit tired and loose. I want to wish Panathinaikos to win Barcelona and to have a good course in Europe".
Dimos Avramidis (player, Panelefsiniakos) stated: "Today's game is a test for us. We wanted to see if we can be competitive, heading towards two really important games for us".
