Karabourniotis: “We lost ourselves and paid for it”

In his loss of concentration Olympiakou attributed the 27-22 defeat to AEK in the last final of the Panagiotis Karabourniotis Handball Premier.

“First of all, congratulations to the AEK team for winning the championship. It’s a difficult day for us, we missed a goal of the year, but I want to congratulate my team as well, thank my teammates, because we fought until the last minute. I am proud of them, because we had a difficult year with our problems, but in sports there comes the time of defeat, which bothers us. But a team like us should quickly get back on top! When you lose a goal, you immediately look at the next one, so we also have to rest and look ready from the new season, to come back. As for today’s match, it was as we expected, with lots of tension, passion and duels for 60 minutes. I think we lost our minds at times and paid for it. In such a match this should not happen. I want to thank our people, who have been present over the years. Apart from the titles, it is important that people understand the effort and the people of Olympiakos appreciate it. I should also say thank you to Giorgos Karasavvidis, he was the man with whom we started the effort together in the summer. Have a good rest everyone, have a good summer with health all over the world“, said the pivot of Piraeus.
