Ergin Ataman was far from being happy after Panathinaikos’ victory against Peristeri and surprised everyone at the press conference, starting by congratulating Olympiacos, following their historic victory against Karditsa.
The Turkish coach praised the mentality of coach Bartzokas’ team, contrasting it with that of his own team, despite the win over Peristeri.
“I would like to congratulate iur big opponent in the Greek league, Olympiacos, for winning on the road by 40 points against Karditsa. Why am I making this statement? Because when you are a big team, you have to play the league games like them. This way, we cannot reach any big goal. Today we got the 2 points, but for me kind of victory is equal to a loss. We will make more practice to improve our mental character and our defense. Like this, we cannot reach big goals”.
