Obradovic: We Cannot Train Because of the Match Schedule

Panathinaikos beat Olimpia Milano 80-75 and moved alone to the top of the EuroLeague standings. Head coach Zeljko Obradovic said that while he is pleased with the result, the team's style of play needs to improve significantly.

Obradovic congratulated his players for fighting through a hard game. He said there were good and bad moments in the match and that there are points that need to be corrected in training. He stressed that the density of the schedule has left them without enough time to do this.

Answering questions about the team's form over the last ten days, Obradovic said they try to fix things after every game. He recalled that the season began without some players and that injuries have also caused shortages. Because of the heavy match traffic and long trips, he said they have not been able to train much, so they prefer to talk with their players and work through video review.

Referring to Kendrick Nunn's contribution, the coach argued that the win was the work of the whole team and not of a single player. He said solutions were found together on both offense and defense, and that players tried to help one another. He gave a brief answer to questions about reinforcing the center position and about transfers.
