Oriola: “AEK’s goal is the Final 4 of the BCL – what happened in Tempi is incredible”

THE Pierre Oriola in an interview with the ERT camera he referred to his transfer to AEK and his goals with his new team, while at the same time he did not hide how unpleasantly he was surprised by the accident that happened in Tempi with dozens of dead.

Everything Oriola said in detail:

For his transcript: “The coach brought me here, he explained everything about the team and the plan that existed. I said yes immediately. I wanted to change the situation in my career and I’m glad to be in a basketball country like Greece.”

For winning the World Cup in 2019 with Spain: “It was one of the best moments in my career, I had the opportunity to mark Skola, a unique experience. It was an incredible night when we won the World Cup, I will never forget it. In the semi-final Scola had scored 30 points, Scariolo told me I would start and I would have to mark Scola, I told him I would try. He replied that I will not try, I will do it.”

For the Girona chapter: “At the beginning of the season I came back from my back injury, but I couldn’t come back completely. Girona decided to “cut” me, as I had a clause in my contract that allowed this, I was the highest paid player in the team”.

For AEK’s goals for the rest of the season: “Our goal is to be in the Final-4 of the Basketball Champions League. In the championship we want to reach as high as possible, so as to avoid Olympiakos and Panathinaikos in the first round of the play-offs”.

About the tragedy in Tempe: I don’t understand how this is happening in 2023, it’s unbelievable. Many people lost their lives, I send my condolences to the families.”
