Panathinaikos team and staff are in Milan, Italy, ahead of tomorrow’s match against Armani Milan (11/12, 20:45 CET) in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague Regurlar Season Round 9 game. Lefteris Bochoridis stayed in Athnes due to fever.
Loukas Mavrokefalidis and Janis Blums talked to the press. Loukas Mavrokefalidis stated:
“Armani are a very good team with offensive talent. We must have fast defensive transitions. We will be playing at their home, so we should control the game pace if we want to stand a chance of winning.”
Janis Blums’ take on tomorrow’s game:
“We didn’t play well against Fenerbahce last week, but this happens. Against Armani we have to play much better –– that is for sure. They are one of the most difficult-to-play teams in the Euroleague, especially at home. They are very good at the fast breaks, so we must be very careful in our defensive transition. If we contain their fast breaks, we will increase our chances of winning.”
