Panathinaikos head coach Ergin Ataman stated that the Greek team he coaches has been the most successful club in Europe after Fenerbahçe Beko in the last 2.5 years.
''AFTER FENERBAHÇE, WE ARE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL IN EUROPE''
Ataman said, "There are seven players in the team who have been playing together for the last 2.5 years, and in this 2.5 years, I would like to remind everyone that we are the most successful club in Europe after Fenerbahçe, which has achieved better results than us. 1 EuroLeague championship, 1 Greek championship, and 2 Greek Cups. Sometimes we lost games in the regular season. I don't care about that. I only care when we lose in the Final Four like last year, or when we lose due to a non-whistled foul against Paris, or with a last-second basket against Fenerbahçe. Now it is important for the team to gain self-confidence and play for big goals. They have the ability to achieve their goals."
''THIS IS MY GOAL AND COACHING PHILOSOPHY''
Stating that they aim for the championship this season as well, Ataman said, "This team may face some problems in regular season games, some teams are very happy when they beat us in the regular season, but we are only happy when we win the championship. We will only be happy when we win. This is my goal and coaching philosophy."
