Pianigiani: “We need help from everybody, it’s the only way to stay close in Athens”

Coach Simone Pianigiani talked about the upcoming road game in Athens against Panathinaikos: “It’s a complicated game while we are trying to regain our chemistry handling Nedovic’s return in the best and safest way. Panathinaikos has been built for great goals, but they can switch well with the big men defensively, they can kill you with Langford and Lojeski’s exits and finally Nick Calathes’ leadership especially at home is very impactful. We need to stay close and try to play down to the wire. In order to do that we’ll try to be a little fresher and more than anything else we need definitely the help of everybody, even for two minutes. That’s the only way to stay close and try to win the game at the end. So far, win or lose, we have been competitive everywhere, this is what we want to do also in Athens”.
