Olimpia Milano Outlines Offensive Plan Ahead of Panathinaikos Game

Olimpia Milano travelled to Athens for their EuroLeague game against Panathinaikos. The team wants to recover from its result against Bologna and correct the course of the season. The club's 15 players and the entire coaching staff travelled to the city together. The squad will train intensively in Athens for one week.

Head coach Peppe Poeta stressed that the opponent has a strong roster. Saying that Panathinaikos are one of the best defensive teams of the season, Poeta said the team needs to move the ball quickly against the opponent's physical style of play. According to Poeta, it is critical that his team does not give in to the opponent's pressure.

Panathinaikos stand out with players such as Kendrick Nunn, Sylvain Francisco, Sloukas and Juancho Hernangomez. The team is led by Zeljko Obradovic, one of the most successful coaches in EuroLeague history. The opponent's squad depth presents a tough test for Olimpia.

The match will be played on Tuesday, 27 October at the OAKA arena in Athens. The game starts at 21:15 Turkey time and will be broadcast live on Sky Sport. Olimpia are aiming for a result that is important both for points and for morale.
