Panathinaikos: Update for the fans and Ataman’s statements before Milan
Panathinaikos AKTOR are preparing for the demanding clash with Armani Milano (11/12, 21:30), with the Italian club sending out an update on Greek fans who have already purchased tickets for the game.
Instructions for Panathinaikos fans
EA7 Emporio Armani Milan has informed KAE Panathinaikos AKTOR that those who have purchased tickets at the gates of the ultras or adjacent stands will be contacted so that they can be transferred to the away gate.
Fans who have purchased tickets in other stands will only move:
if they themselves request it, or
if there is excessive behavior that may cause tension with the home team’s fans.
So care and coordination for the best and safest conduct of the match.
Ataman: “Another difficult match in the EuroLeague”
Ergin Ataman spoke about the match in Milan, stressing that every game in the tournament requires high concentration:
“Armani has a very strong roster that can contend for the Final Four. Although he had injuries, now almost everyone is back and the team is finding its rhythm again. We have to play aggressive and proper basketball to win.”
At the same time, he also mentioned the change of coach of the Italians, noting that the philosophy remains similar, as Poeta knows Messina’s team very well.
Without Osman and Holmes in Milan
Panathinaikos will compete with significant absences, as:
Chedi Osman
Rhyshon Holmes
they are not ready to return to action.
The Turkish coach emphasized:
“Osman will not be available. He is in pain even the doctors informed that he cannot compete. Holmes will hopefully be ready next week, but he must first train 2-3 times before entering the game.”
It remains to be seen whether the two players will be able to deliver in the difficult week ahead.
Panathinaikos is traveling with the goal of another important European victory, knowing that its task in Milan will not be easy.
