Speaking to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazzetta.gr\/basketball\/euroleague\/2569243\/sloykas-sto-gazzetta-den-mporo-na-antapokritho-tha-einai-i-teleytaia\"><strong data-start=\"7006\" data-end=\"7018\">Gazzetta<\/strong><\/a>, the Greek captain discussed his recovery, the previous era under Ergin Ataman, \u017deljko Obradovi\u0107\u2019s return, the new roster, his future and the Greek national team.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1qnn9g4\" data-start=\"7183\" data-end=\"7229\">Sloukas: \u201cI\u2019ll join the team in 10-15 days\u201d<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"7231\" data-end=\"7381\">Sloukas is still recovering from the surgery he underwent last April, which forced him to miss the final EuroLeague games and the Greek League Finals.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"7383\" data-end=\"7678\">\n<p data-start=\"7385\" data-end=\"7678\">\u201cI\u2019m at a good stage now and I think I\u2019ll join the team in 15-20 days. That\u2019s what I want to believe. After the surgery I came back well and had good practices. But after a game against PAOK, my leg swelled up and reacted. I couldn\u2019t help the team and basically had to miss the entire summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"7680\" data-end=\"7729\">The Panathinaikos captain is now looking forward.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"7731\" data-end=\"7884\">\n<p data-start=\"7733\" data-end=\"7884\">\u201cI\u2019m at a good stage and I\u2019ll start with the team in around 10-15 days. I\u2019ll probably make it, if not for the first game, then for the following ones.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"cm9wq1\" data-start=\"7886\" data-end=\"7935\">Sloukas gives Ataman\u2019s tenure a positive grade<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"7937\" data-end=\"8049\">Sloukas described his experience with Ergin Ataman as a positive one, despite considering last season a failure.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"8051\" data-end=\"8277\">\n<p data-start=\"8053\" data-end=\"8277\">\u201cI\u2019ll definitely give it a positive grade. He is a great coach, based on the titles he has won. He has his own style and brought titles to the team. After years, he brought a EuroLeague title, and that is not insignificant.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"8279\" data-end=\"8328\">Sloukas also praised their personal relationship.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"8330\" data-end=\"8546\">\n<p data-start=\"8332\" data-end=\"8546\">\u201cMany people have said that he doesn\u2019t have many relationships with players. I had a very good and harmonious relationship with him. There was mutual respect and appreciation. It was a successful three-year cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"8548\" data-end=\"8605\">His assessment of last season, however, was much harsher:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"8607\" data-end=\"8647\">\n<p data-start=\"8609\" data-end=\"8647\">\u201cLast season was an absolute failure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"18q8k1f\" data-start=\"8649\" data-end=\"8717\">Obradovi\u0107\u2019s return: \u201cHe turned me from a role player into a star\u201d<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"8719\" data-end=\"8881\">The biggest change at Panathinaikos comes with the return of \u017deljko Obradovi\u0107, a coach Sloukas knows extremely well after their five years together at Fenerbah\u00e7e.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"8883\" data-end=\"9057\">\n<p data-start=\"8885\" data-end=\"9057\">\u201cIt brought back memories. I was particularly happy. When I went to Fenerbah\u00e7e, I was 25 and a role player. With his help and guidance, I managed to leave there as a star.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"9059\" data-end=\"9175\">Sloukas described Obradovi\u0107 as <strong data-start=\"9090\" data-end=\"9132\">\u201cthe best coach of all time in Europe\u201d<\/strong>, particularly highlighting his work ethic.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"9177\" data-end=\"9240\">\n<p data-start=\"9179\" data-end=\"9240\">\u201cFor me, by far, he is the best coach of all time in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1a4vrw8\" data-start=\"9242\" data-end=\"9270\">\u201cRespect is the key word\u201d<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"9272\" data-end=\"9325\">Sloukas expects a different identity under Obradovi\u0107.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"9327\" data-end=\"9468\">\n<p data-start=\"9329\" data-end=\"9468\">\u201cHe really likes the philosophy of rules. Specific basketball, attacking weaknesses. In general, a serious team on both ends of the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"9470\" data-end=\"9552\">And there is one word that, according to Sloukas, Obradovi\u0107 constantly emphasizes:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"9554\" data-end=\"9644\">\n<p data-start=\"9556\" data-end=\"9644\">\u201cRespect. Respect for our teammates, our coaches and, of course, the club and the fans.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1bw31h0\" data-start=\"9646\" data-end=\"9701\">\u201cThe new players are putting the \u2018I\u2019 below the team\u201d<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"9703\" data-end=\"9852\">Panathinaikos made significant changes to its roster after last season\u2019s disappointment. Sloukas has been impressed by the attitude of the newcomers.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"9854\" data-end=\"10048\">\n<p data-start=\"9856\" data-end=\"10048\">\u201cThere is a lot of talent and a lot of quality. What particularly impresses me about all the guys who have arrived is that they respect the Panathinaikos name. They know where they have come.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"10050\" data-end=\"10064\">And above all:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"10066\" data-end=\"10119\">\n<p data-start=\"10068\" data-end=\"10119\">\u201cThey are all ready to put the \u2018I\u2019 below the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"hown1r\" data-start=\"10121\" data-end=\"10150\">\u201cFall has nothing to fear\u201d<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"10152\" data-end=\"10274\">Sloukas also discussed the arrival of <strong data-start=\"10190\" data-end=\"10208\">Moustapha Fall<\/strong>, his former Olympiacos teammate who has now joined Panathinaikos.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"10276\" data-end=\"10389\">\n<p data-start=\"10278\" data-end=\"10389\">\u201cWhen I found out he had signed, I called him immediately because I was very happy that we would be teammates.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"10391\" data-end=\"10447\">For Sloukas, Fall made the move with his future in mind.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"10449\" data-end=\"10611\">\n<p data-start=\"10451\" data-end=\"10611\">\u201cHe has nothing to fear. He chose what was best for him, his family and, of course, his future. Helping a team and feeling important are very important things.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1ily3oo\" data-start=\"10613\" data-end=\"10665\">\u201cI don\u2019t want to finish on a downward trajectory\u201d<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"10667\" data-end=\"10775\">At 36, with his 37th birthday approaching in January, Sloukas does not rule out this being his final season.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"10777\" data-end=\"10943\">\n<p data-start=\"10779\" data-end=\"10943\">\u201cI want to see how this season goes. There are expectations. I don\u2019t want to simply be on the team. I want to live up to the expectations and demands placed on me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"10945\" data-end=\"11018\">His future will depend largely on his performance and physical condition.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"11020\" data-end=\"11221\">\n<p data-start=\"11022\" data-end=\"11221\">\u201cIf I can\u2019t live up to those expectations, it will be my last season. I\u2019ll also see how my body responds. But generally, I don\u2019t think it will go much further. I believe I will stop at a high level.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"11wotl\" data-start=\"11223\" data-end=\"11265\">National team retirement appears closer<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"11267\" data-end=\"11383\">Sloukas also addressed his future with the Greek national team, confirming that he could announce his decision soon.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"11385\" data-end=\"11496\">\n<p data-start=\"11387\" data-end=\"11496\">\u201cI haven\u2019t officially announced anything yet. I\u2019ll probably announce something in the coming days or months.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"11498\" data-end=\"11576\">However, the Panathinaikos captain appears to be leaning toward stepping away.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"11578\" data-end=\"11672\">\n<p data-start=\"11580\" data-end=\"11672\">\u201cI believe that whatever I had to give to the national team, I have probably already given.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"11674\" data-end=\"11702\">He explained his philosophy:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"11704\" data-end=\"11878\">\n<p data-start=\"11706\" data-end=\"11878\">\u201cI believe you have to know when to stop. It\u2019s good to give space to the young players, the new generation. Through failures, they will build character for future success.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"etkwxp\" data-start=\"11880\" data-end=\"11908\">\u201cI want all three titles\u201d<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"11910\" data-end=\"11975\">As for his goals this season, Sloukas is not hiding his ambition.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"11977\" data-end=\"12061\">Asked what would make him satisfied at the end of the season, his answer was simple:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"12063\" data-end=\"12084\">\n<p data-start=\"12065\" data-end=\"12084\">\u201cAll three titles.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"12086\" data-end=\"12247\">His EuroLeague ambitions are equally clear: finish as high as possible in the regular season, then focus on the playoffs and, above all, reaching the Final Four.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"12249\" data-end=\"12467\">\n<p data-start=\"12251\" data-end=\"12467\">\u201cIn terms of the roster and the quality we have as a team, we are the best. If not the best, we are among the two or three best teams. We need to become a team. We need to raise the bar game by game, month by month.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"vktj0z\" data-start=\"12469\" data-end=\"12500\">Sloukas\u2019 message to the fans<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"12502\" data-end=\"12596\">Finally, Sloukas thanked Panathinaikos fans for the support and affection they have shown him.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"12598\" data-end=\"12756\">\n<p data-start=\"12600\" data-end=\"12756\">\u201cFirst of all, I want to thank them very much.
