«The game against Prokom Trefl is crucial»


Panathinaikos is playing a tough on the road game in Poland agaist Prokom Trefl and the win will get the team even closer to the first place of the group. «We are facing a team which showed how tough it is by beating Efes Pilsen in Turkey last week», said Dimos Dikoudis. «That's why we must be very careful so as not to be stunned like Efes Pilsen was. If we win for the third time in a row in Euroleague's Top 16 and considering the big point differences we got in the first two games, we'll get the advantage for the first place in our group. And we'll keep trying in order to achive this goal. As a consequence, the game against Prokom Trefl is crucial and we don't think anything else than the win».
As for the next game in Greek league against PAOK, he commented: «We'll have to face PAOK in OAKA playing once more without our fans in the tribune. We feel sorry about that, because this is not happens for the first time this season. Games without fans is not a good thing for basketball and maybe it'll better be found another kind of punishment of the teams. Because the majority of the fans are good fans, it isn't their fault to be expelled from the arenas and in addition the athletes need their support».
