Despite the problems that occurred during the match, Mr Olympic he fought it and almost even left OAKA with the double, but in the final he was defeated by a score 85-80 by Panathinaikos AKTOR.
THE Philip Petrushev, who was the leader of the “red and whites” in the match, spoke about the details that decided the game, making special reference to his appearance and his first “taste” of the derby “for ages”.
Philip Petrusev’s statements in detail:
“It was a difficult match, especially away from home with this atmosphere it is difficult to play. We had a lot of bad luck in special situations play, like Milutinov’s injury. We could have won but we didn’t make a good shot at the end, these things happen. Nothing is over in terms of advantage. They may lose some matches, however we will do our best to celebrate the victory at the end.
It was my best match. I played a lot, got tired at the end and couldn’t play at the level I wanted. In the end I fouled because I had no strength, I was sick last week. The fact that Milutinov was injured forced me to play more than I and the team expected.
The fact that we fought against Panathinaikos with so many absences is worth mentioning. We don’t have to worry about a thing, when everyone comes back we will be better. Milutinov will be fine soon, he is a great player and a warrior.”
