Panathinaikos started too soon the preparation for the new season with Argiris Pedoulakis talking about “the restart of the team. We have the know how and the experience to do it”.
Eight players (Diamantidis, Tsartsaris, Schortsanitis, Ukic, Bramos, Panko, Xanthopoulos, Giannopoulos) went to OAKA, Maciulis, Kitchen will follow them in next days and Pedoulakis informed that PAO will acquire three more players.
The captain Dimitris Diamantidis welcomed everybody who attended in the first practice and the new players spoke. Roko Leni Ukic said “the easiest thing is to sign with a team that you know what to expect. In Panathinaikos the data is new».
Sofo said afterwards that “Diamantidis was one of the reasons that I chose Panathinaikos. I know him since I was 15 years old and during the three years we were together in Iraklis he helped me a lot”.
