In the philosophy faced by Panathinaikos AKTOR the Cup and the intention to bring it back Kostas Sloukas mentioned the Ergin Ataman.
Ahead of the quarter final with AEK Betssonthe Turkish technician specifically stated:
“We are in the OPAP Final 8 and of course like all the teams we came here to win all the games. We are only thinking about the quarter-final, every game is difficult, because all teams want to give their best in a knockout game.
If we win, we will think about the sequel. We are in good shape, all the players are ready and I believe that Slukas will also get minutes in the Cup.
AEK is a good team, they are fighting, we faced them on Monday and it was not an easy game. I will talk to Kostas. He did all the training, tomorrow he will be in the 12 and he will start getting minutes to be more ready hopefully for the semi-final and the final.
We are here to try to win the Cup. We will be happy to win this title, but our big goal is to win the championship and go to the Final 4 of the Euroleague.
If we win, we will be happy, but no one will remember if we are eliminated. But if we go to the Final 4 or win the championship, we will go down in history. I hope it will be a good event, everyone is trying for the best and I hope it will be something beautiful for the fans.
I believe it is important for Crete and Heraklion to have this celebration of basketball here and we will be happy if we win the title.”
