THE Nan In his statements to Club 1908 he referred to his “hunger” to conquer another Euroleague with his jersey Panathinaic.
Panathinaikos will face Fenerbahce (23/05/25, 18:00, Newsit.gr) in the Euroleague Final Four semifinal, which will take place in Abu Dhabi, with the sole aim of repeating last year’s appearance against the Turks and Central Nannik Nan.
In detail the statements of Central Nan
For the second consecutive Panathinaikos qualification in Final Four: “I want to qualify for the Final Four regularity. Is necessary. And then do the job in these two games. We’re ready for that. “
For if Ataman has shared with him the secret to the back-to-back: “No, I haven’t told me the secret, but I think I know. It is to be more hungry than everyone. You have to go out there and want it more. It takes a collective effort to do it. We must all be on the same page. It’s two games. It’s not a series of races. We have to leave everything in the parquet. “
For the ‘hunger’ of a Final Four: “Starving. I haven’t eaten for weeks. “
On how to manage the situation in Abu Dhabi: “I will lead my team. I will be talkative. I will be prepared, perfectly focused, without missing steps. Spiritually and physically ready, to go to win two matches. “
For the pressure that exists: “I don’t know. Pressure is a good thing if you ask me. But I’m not a friend of pressure. We are prepared for moments like this and now is the time to show the job we have done. The kids have worked all season. We were quite stable, we built our chemistry. But we also had our ups and downs, our difficult times. We have seen the children on top of them and down. Now we have to be united and win two games.
I would say it’s not as difficult as a series of playoffs. Two games. We will go there and enjoy it. We will be ready for this moment. Sometimes the teams or players are a little tired at such times. Now is the best spot of the season for us. So we are having a good time, we get on the pitch excited and full of energy, ready to finish the job. “
For extra motivation due to difficulties with injuries to the season: “We’re ready to do it for them. As I said, we are the perfect team that has been built for moments like this. We have players who are there at every moment. When you call their number, they are ready.
The tall people were ready when Lesor or Jurcheven were injured in the season. Gabriel came to fill some big shoes. It was a second nature for him. He was ready for that. Overall we have players who are ready for the big moment. This is awesome. When everything is judged in the last two games, everything can happen. “
For what he will do if Panathinaikos wins the Euroleague: “I still think about it. I download ideas. I will definitely have something for you. After the back-to-back I will definitely have something for you. Don’t worry! “
