For Panagiotis Kalaitzakis nothing less than winning the Cup is the goal for him Panathinaikos AKTORhowever – as he said – the quarter-final today with AEK Betsson (18:00), which he thinks highly of. The statements of the ace of the “greens” are detailed on the website of the EEC.
-Do you think that the Final 8 after last year’s first experience is an institution that helps basketball?
“I think so, as it gives an opportunity to all the teams to claim their chances of winning the trophy but also a special interest in the institution. The seven best teams of the league and Panionios will try their best. We look forward to participating.”
-What are the points you need to pay attention to in order to progress to the semi-finals of the competition?
“For sure AEK is a very good team with quality players. He has a new coach who is trying to pass his philosophy on to the team. All athletes give their best which happens to most teams that change coaches. It’s a knockout game so we’ll have to be very focused to succeed.”
-What is your team’s goal in the Final 8?
“The goal of Panathinaikos AKTOR can only be to win the trophy. We want to get three wins and win the Cup.”
-How important do you think is the fact that it is organized this year alongside the Final 8 of the Men’s Cup and the final of the Women’s Cup?
“For basketball it is very important, as is the fact that it will be held in Crete. It is an island that loves basketball and has proven it many times over the years. All eyes will be on Heraklion this four days.”
