Confident of his qualification Olympiakou in the Final 4 he was Christos Buffets, as he stated speaking to EEC Web Radio. The sports director of KAE referred to the laudatory comments that the team has received this year for the basketball it plays, while he emphasized that now the goal is to reach the end of the journey, that is, the conquest of the Euroleague in Kaunas. In detail, he talked about:
For the qualification to the Final-4 of Kaunas: “We are treating this whole season like a nice journey. We have to live the journey, but it would be good to reach the end of the destination as well.”
On how he experienced the qualification: “On a personal level, for me it was the calmest, maybe because I know the team and the faith I had in it, maybe because I know our potential. In no way do I want to underestimate Fenerbahce, they were the most difficult opponent we could face in the play-offs. Knowing the team, how it is, what situation it is in, how it plays and what it has done all year, I had an unprecedented confidence before, that is, nothing to do with last year’s Game 5 with Monaco.”
Cfor the entire course of Olympiakos this year: “For me, it is more important that Olympiacos for the 2nd consecutive year managed to get the home advantage in the playoffs and then managed to reach the Final 4. And last year the Euroleague was difficult, but Olympiacos finished 2nd. It’s the duration, the consistency he showed and the way he plays. The team played basketball that was memorable for all of our opponents. The way the team played throughout the year and I believe it will play in the Final-4 as well, was attractive, even fans of other teams were sitting on TV to watch Olympiakos. We are all more “connected”, more like a family, we have achieved this and I think that the daily life we ​​spend here at SEF also goes outside. Altruism exists everywhere, not just in basketball. In the locker room the kids have a good time, they like what they live in and outside they hang out. We’re really a nice atmosphere.”
