Kostas Mourikis emphasized that Olympiacos paid for their poor performance against Novi Beograd, he considers that they won fairly in the other two matches in the final 8 and that this year left him with a bittersweet taste.
Analytically: “We closed with a victory, but we came to Belgrade with other dreams. The team was built to conquer the top! We played a bad game against Novi Beograd and got eliminated, against Yug and Ferencvaros we played very well, we won fairly.
Certainly, the season leaves us with a bittersweet taste, we won the two titles in Greece, but we did not succeed in Europe. Next year will make Olympiacos stronger.”
Alexandros Papanastasiou added: “In Greece, the season was successful, we didn’t even lose, but the team was not made only for the domestic trophies. Nobody is satisfied with the result at the end of the year, but there are more years and we will work on this road.
We came here, step by step, to reach the top, but that stopped on the first day. We won the other two games in emphatic fashion. We are disappointed, but that’s how sport is, Novi made it to the final. We will be determined by this result, we will gain more motivation for the new season.”
