Ergin Ataman, head coach of the last champion Anadolu Efes, who will face Real Madrid on the road in the first week of Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, stated that they want to make the opening by winning.
While there will be excitement in the first week of Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, Anadolu Efes, one of our representatives, will open the season away from Real Madrid. Ergin Ataman, head coach of the defending champion Anadolu Efes, made a statement before the difficult Real Madrid match.
Stating that they want to start by winning, Ataman said, “We are starting the season with a difficult Real Madrid away trip. We want to make a good start against a coach and team that we respect very much. There are 3-4 players in Real Madrid that have changed compared to last season, but we are looking at the situation of our injured players at the match time. We will try to reflect our organized basketball with only one change. Even though we are not in full form as of the beginning of the season, we want to start by giving the best fight and winning. Last season, we played all three matches in Madrid without an audience. Now we are proud to be the champion team in front of Real Madrid fans. “I hope it will be a game where the fans enjoy the game,” he said.
