His great satisfaction after qualifying for this year’s Euroleague final was expressed in his statements by Kostas Sloukaswho lived up to the character shown by the “red and whites”, managing to win against a very well-worked team.
In addition, he revealed what Giorgos Bartzokas said to him and his teammates during the half-time break, while emphasizing that Olympiakos will also want luck with their side in the grand final!
In detail what he said:
On how it feels: “Very happy, very satisfied. The goal of being in the final was achieved. It was a tough game for us, but we showed character and beat a very well-worked team.”.
About what Bartzokas told them in the locker room and they entered the third period changed: “We had to control our attacks better, they were quick and definitely play better defense. It was seen in the 3rd quarter our mood in defense, it was obvious that they will start to get tired because we were also quite aggresive. Our quality played a role”.
On whether experience also played a role: “Our experience also played a role. In the fourth quarter we cleaned up the game relatively easily, but the guys did an excellent job in the third quarter as well”.
On whether his mind is in the final: “No, let’s enjoy it today. We will sleep, tomorrow we will think about it and we will be ready as we should be to play a final, in which we also want luck on our side”.
