THE Olympic prevailed 86-65 of Monaco at the S.E.F. for the 8th game of the Euroleague, went up to 6-2 and in second place in the standings!
With his statements after the end of the match, Costas Papanikolaou stood in picture of the “red and whites” against the Monegasques, while he referred with a good dose of humor and to his newborn daughter!
“It takes everyone for the team to win. The reaction at 66-57 was because I felt the shots were going well. I wanted the negative energy to go away, for the people to enter the game so that we can all together show in Monaco that it cannot beat us.
Monaco is a strong opponent for the battle of the octave. We do not know if it will have a similar sequel, as we do not know for ourselves. The guys of the “second” five did a very good job so that we could enter virtually zero in the second half. We conceded 27 points and we wanted to find a rhythm and help those of us who were in the “top five”. “We had a good momentum and a lot of guys came forward, like Jean Charles and Wocap.” reported initially the 31-year-old forward of the “red and whites”.
He then referred to goals of Olympiacos in this season saying that: “Nothing changes for us, we are chasing the octave. We want Olympiacos to go there again. The energy of the world was there when things were not in our favor. To help us even in times when things are not going well, there we must all help each other. Generally in a team there is no year without intensity. This is how the problems are solved. You leave them behind and move on. “
Finally, he spoke about his daughter: “The bad thing is that it looks like me! She is 7 months old but she looks like 14. Her birth came at a time when she was not my best racing … She helped me psychologically so that I could focus on something beautiful to get over the surgery and go to the next day. Most … credits go to my wife, I thank her in public. As Spanoulis has said, if there is calm in the house you can work better “.
