Pressure and tension did not let Ergin Ataman sleep on the eve of the derby, but the Turkish coach finally saw his team Panathinaikos achieve a valuable victory in the SEF over Olympiacos.

With a very important brace, Panathinaikos left SEF, defeating Olympiacos 66-54 in the fourth match of the Stoiximan Basketball League, a result that left the Greens alone at the top of the standings. Ergin Ataman explained the tactics he used for his team to achieve victory, while he did not hide his emotional state, stressing that he was unable to sleep on the eve of the derby.

In detail what the ataman said to the ERT camera:

“The players did a great job. It was very emotionally charged. I didn’t sleep last night. Today I’m very happy, not about the game, but about other things. We didn’t play well, Olympiacos didn’t play well.” “We showed that we are a fighting team. It was strange that we lost in the Euroleague. We were excellent in defense and game plans. We used Mitoglou as a ‘5’ in some places, and he made some threes.” We fled as a result.

We played differently. Especially at the end of the game we played with three goals, while at other points we just played Dino as a tall player and made it difficult for Val to mark him. We also played with Juancho in “3”. “I don’t usually use many tactical tricks, but I did today.”
