Ergin Ataman spoke to the media shortly before Panathinaikos BC AKTOR’s departure for Munich, where they will face FC Bayern Munich (15/01, 20:30) in Round 22 of the EuroLeague regular season.

“Bayern have a very experienced roster and, of course, coach Pesic is a very experienced coach. He knows how to lead a team. They are starting to play much better now. Of course, Obst is in very good form, especially in their recent home games where he has delivered great performances. In their last two home games, they scored 96 and 98 points. They are a very dangerous team, so we definitely have to play good defense and control their fast breaks. They play a run-and-gun style on offense.”

On the schedule until the end of the month and whether he feels there are must-win games starting from tomorrow: “No. Every game is a must-win because we want to finish the regular season in the best possible position. In this EuroLeague, in the past we sometimes won big, difficult games, but we also lost some easy ones. In the end, it will be important for the standings to secure a good position, but of course, the more games you win, the better.”
