Kastritis: “Proud of our progress, we played with the best team in Europe”

by

Yiannis Kastritis commented on the effort of the Aris players against Olympiakos after the defeat with 82-51.

Children approach children always the same. We played against the best team in Europe and the lads are not happy with the way the game went. We are blessed to have players who are hungry and always want to give their best. Obviously it cost us the start, but the kids didn’t give up. We tried to come back, to give our best, but Olympiacos was very good and serious. We have been training and playing for a number of days with many absences. We are happy and proud of our run so far, we are resting, taking some breathers, waiting for our injured and preparing for the very demanding season finale. I hope that the Final 8 will be completed as we have all envisioned and above all that the world will enjoy it“, he initially reported and added:

In such games, the superior opponent or very superior opponent should give you some push. Olympiacos entered with the foot on the gas and they hardly let us see the ball. To me this is the cause of our poor start, it is not due to a lack of concentration. Despite the bad start we did not collapse, we fought, pushed and tried. But the way Olympiacos approached the game played a decisive role».
