Panathinaikos departed today heading to Italy, where the team is facing EA7 Emporio Armani Milano tomorrow (27/2, 21.45) for Euroleague, Top16, Day 8. Ramel Curry is injured and not in the delegation. On the contrary Zack Wright is getting ready for his first Euroleague game in Green.
Argyris Pedoulakis spoke about the game: "Armani Milan plays with a lot of energy. When they play at home they are even more aggressive both in offense and defense. They try to open the rhythm and they play much better in the second phase of the competition. Their course so far in Top16 is really good. And they have changed some things since our game in the first round, using a different rotation. We need to be really careful stepping on the court. This is an important game for both teams".
Roko Leni Ukic added: "We are facing Armani Milano and we know that it will be a different game comparing to the one on the Top16 premiere. The play much better than the last time we faced them. We know they are not the same team we beat at OAKA in the first round. We'll try to be ready, because it's a very important game for both teams. We are getting into the most crucial time in Euroleague. The tickets for the next round will start to reach their destination now, so we'll see. We have to be ready".
