Olympiakos’ goal was defined by Giannoulis Larentzakis in this year’s Final-8 of the Cup, of course clarifying that this is none other than winning the title. The ace of the Red Whites pointed out that today’s match of the team is difficult having against him a team Peristeri bwin, which is extremely dangerous.
Read what the ace of Olympiakos has to say…
-Do you think that the Final 8 after last year’s first experience is an institution that helps basketball?
“For sure! It was a very beautiful event that I think was crowned with absolute success. The sports fans had the opportunity to see many competitive games in a highly civilized atmosphere and that for me is the most important. The institution of the Final 8 has been established all over Europe and it is time for this to happen in Greece as well. I hope this year will be a celebration of basketball!”
-What are the points you need to pay attention to in order to progress to the semi-finals of the competition?
“Knockout games are always matches of special circumstances. Everyone has their chances and everyone is fighting with all their strength to exhaust them. Nothing is easy and as it has been seen from this year’s championship, all the teams have strengthened a lot and are very competitive. We believe in our capabilities and I think that if we show up focused in all the games, starting with the one against Peristeri. Our mission will not be easy, but we will do everything in our power to lift the trophy again.”
-What is your team’s goal in the Final 8?
“When you are Champion and Cup Winner of Greece, the goal cannot be anything less than a repeat. In any case, Olympiacos is ‘doomed’ to always fight for first place in whatever competition it competes in”.
-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?
“I think that women’s basketball deserves more visibility. It is at a high level and also the National team has achieved a lot and important things. I want to believe that through this process the final will arouse the interest of the sports fans even more”.
