Petrusev for Olympiacos – Panathinaikos: “I wouldn’t lock a rival player in the locker room”

Philip Petrusev spoke of derby – with Serbian forward of the “reds” saying he would not lock one of the opponents’ players in the locker room. Philip Petrusev made statements on the Olympiacos – Panathinaikos derby as part of the 29th Euroleague competition, with the Serbian player reporting that the match will be quite important, as will every game in the Euroleague. He even pointed out that he would not lock a player from the opposing team in the locker room in a relevant question. Petrusev’s words about Olympiacos – Panathinaikos “I don’t think the game will be very different from that in the Cup final. Obviously now we’re going to play in front of our fans. I think that’ll be an advantage for us. We need to see what we did wrong in the previous game. Especially aggressively, we have to play better. To improve some small things, but in general it will not be very different. I see it on the floor, with the fans on the field or on the streets. They care more about derby than about other EuroLeague games. I think I know what this game means to everyone. I think all matches are important to the home advantage. Tomorrow may be a little more important, because we will have the upper hand in case of a tie with Panathinaikos, but the rest of the games also matter, because if we don’t win them, tomorrow’s result won’t matter that much. Every game is important, but tomorrow maybe a little more. I don’t know, I wouldn’t lock any Panathinaikos player in the locker room. Sometimes the teams play better with smaller rotation, when some players play longer minutes, so I wouldn’t lock anyone up.”
