“Congratulations to the children and our team for qualifying for the finals. In all three matches, PAOK presented nice ideas and good execution from the region. It was just hard for them to do it for 40 minutes. To thank our fans. After our adventure in the Final 4 and for a match that for many the result is predetermined, they came here to encourage our team in view of the sequel”.

“People got attached to our team, it was shown by the sold outs and the tickets we bought. Both for our fans and for neutral fans who love basketball, Olympiacos gave a special note this year with its presence in the Euroleague. Unfortunately the last shot in the final was against our destiny, our joy. As Andreas Gatzoulis said, sports is a book that you change the page and go to the next. The deification of the people for the team, the applause and the great willingness to buy permanently and for the year, shows that what our team presents is something that fills them”.

“We want to finish the season with a third title and we don’t underestimate any title. Of course we do not underestimate either Panathinaikos or Peristeri. We haven’t done that all season, we always respect the opponent and we will play with concentration”.

For Black’s condition: “Here comes a cure. Since we still have a week left, I believe he will find the time to prepare for the match. We’ll go day by day, I don’t know at the moment”.
