I understand the pressure, he is closer to coaching in Turkey next season than in Greece. And where will be decided by Maccabi. I don&#8217;t want to get into politics because it&#8217;s nonsense. He and Giannakopoulos created a story to put pressure on the referees, but the behaviour of Panathinaikos in recent years does not tilt the EuroLeague on their side&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on Sloukas&#8217; performance and the team&#8217;s attitude, Gershon said: &#8220;I saw a \u20ac3.5 million player with no self-esteem in Game 3. Sloukas has a lot of experience, but he lost all his self-esteem.<\/p>\n<p>He added about the team management: &#8220;Some Panathinaikos players don&#8217;t want him as a coach. He sat on the bench in the third game and that sends a bad message to the players. A coach must always be on the pitch so that the players feel he is on their side.<\/p>\n<p>The second leg of the tie, which will be played in Belgrade with Maccabi leading Panathinaikos 2-1 in the series, is scheduled for 20:45 tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pini Gershon, the volcanic former coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv, was rather critical of Ergin Ataman and Kostas Sloukas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":386030,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[199],"tags":[3563,2629],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-386031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-euroleague","tag-maccabi-tel-aviv-en","tag-panathinaikos-en"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/05\/Pini-Gershon.jpeg","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=386031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386031\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/386030"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=386031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=386031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=386031"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=386031"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=386031"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=386031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
