Olympiacos submitted the fighting Prometheus to SEF, with Kostas Papanikolaou to emphasize in his statements after the end of the match that the energy of his team was not at the level it should be, adding that fatigue is normal to appear after the continuous trips.
In addition, one of the captains of Olympiakos mentioned both the upcoming derby of the “eternals” (19/3) and the game of Piraeus against Zalgiris (16/3).
In detail what he said:
“Prometheus is a very good team, well structured, which is doing very well in Europe this year. Our energy was not at the level it should have been, on both sides of the floor. We are coming from a month where we did not stay at home at all, with many trips, many games and injuries in February. It’s normal for fatigue to come out at some point and bring changes in our energy and game”.
For the 50 consecutive victories achieved by Olympiacos in the championship, Cup and Super Cup: “Records are not for teams. Teams are judged by the titles they manage to win. Records are for journalists”.
For the derby with Panathinaikos: “We want to win to maintain our very good momentum. A derby, regardless of psychology, can change a lot”.
For the upcoming game with Zalgiris: “We will see what will happen with Sluka, if he will compete. We have managed to secure our main goal by qualifying for the playoffs. Since we have the ability to look even higher, we do. We have to be 100% committed, a moment of slackness can have repercussions. The Euroleague is very competitive”.
