Kostas Papanikolaou emphasized that Olympiacos showed the necessary concentration against Alba for an easy victory and believes that the absences of Slukas and Peters gave more impetus and energy to the rest, asking for vigilance for the continuation.
Analytically: “It’s a day of remembrance for the club and that’s where it all starts. The victory is dedicated to the children of Door 7, our thoughts are also with Turkey and Syria with the earthquakes and what happened there. These are the important things, not the games.”
On the match: “Concentration was the ‘key’. Alba may be last, but they are a good team with a high tempo. In the second quarter they let us down when we lost our concentration a little bit and had to pay attention.”
On the absences of Sluka and Peters: “Setbacks happen to all teams. Both are very basic players. When they are missing, it takes more energy and will from everyone for the team to win. We have to hold ourselves to high standards as players, because in the end it’s the year that counts. If we think we’ve won something, then the year can be ruined.”
