Pascual: "We have the best fans in Europe"

The coach of Panathinaikos BC Superfoods, Xavi Pascual, said after the game against Armani Milan: "It was very clear that our picture in the second half was completely different. We played better defense, we started from defense and after that we played better on offense. I think it's unacceptable what happened in the first 20 minutes. We didn't play defense at all, and we have to learn from this win for the playoffs."

We are happy to have finished the regular season with 19 victories, which is great, winning a game that was the fifth in a row, something similar to last year. We are ready for playoffs. Some players need to be improved, but I think we are ready to face each opponent in the playoffs.

As I have already said, we have the best fans in Europe. Wherever we play, in any country, it's next to us. They give us tremendous strength. I want to thank all the fans who came to support us here in Milan. We wish to repay this love by taking the Finals 4 qualification. "
