REFERENCE TO THE FANS
At the press conference, Ergin Ataman talked about the Red Star fans chanting for their arch-rivals Olympiacos and said 'Congratulations to Olympiacos... Sorry, I got confused because the fans were shouting Olympiakos the whole match'.
'I AM NOT SATISFIED'
Commenting on the match, Ataman said the following:
"We are missing three centers and it is very difficult to play at this level, especially on defense. We are looking for a big man to help us because we don't know when Mathias Lessort will be back.
I'm not 90% satisfied with T.J Shorts' performance, maybe it's our fault, maybe it's his fault. But the truth is that we haven't gotten the performance we expected from Shorts so far."
