Sloukas: “The win against Monaco strengthens our position in the rankings, we have recognized our potential”

Panathinaikos AKTOR passed Monaco and got off to a great start to the EuroLeague week, and Kostas Sloukas spoke in front of the NOVA camera about the Greens’ win, but also about the Cloverleaf’s upcoming game against Armani Milano (9:45 p.m., Novasports Prime and LIVE from Sportish).

Slukas emphasized that the win against the Monegasques particularly strengthens the team’s lead in the table, while he did not hide his optimism for the game against Armani.

What the Greek Guardian said in detail:

“The game against Monaco is behind us. Armani is in very good spirits, they beat Barcelona away and easily beat Villeurbanne yesterday. They are starting and finding a good rhythm, especially at home, so it will be a dangerous game. We definitely need to win.”

Whether the win against Monaco strengthens the psyche: “In the first phase, above all, it strengthens our position in the rankings, we got a win in a very difficult stadium and against a team that was in the Final Four last year. From then on, of course, it also plays a psychological role.” We recognized our potential on the field. I think game by game we are getting better and the most important thing is to get results. I want to believe that tomorrow (even today) we are optimistic that we can achieve something good with the help of our people.”

About playing with Armani: “I think toughness is the most important thing to respond to their toughness. They are very good at defense, very tough. Reading the game, controlling the tempo, controlling rebounds and I think that will tip the scales in our favor.”
