Spanoulis: “There is a difference in level”

Vasilis Spanoulis emphasized that there is a big difference between Olympiakos and Peristeri bwin and that his team is trying to change the level and that they played as hard as they could, he emphasized the stability they are showing for the second year as a team and that they have reached their “ceiling” , considers it difficult to beat the big guys when they play seriously and praised Aris and Toliopoulos.

Analytically: “Congratulations to Olympiakos for the victory and to my team for the effort. In some places we didn’t do what we should have. The level of the two teams is different. We are trying to ‘build’ a whole new team with a winning mentality. We tried in many places, but it was not enough.

We try to do our job, we tried to play hard, in some places we didn’t succeed. It is amazing that, for the second year in a row, we have an admirable consistency as a third team. We haven’t done any big ‘belly’. You have to understand what you’re asking for, I think the team is reaching its ‘ceiling’ and I’m very happy.

If we want to see the big picture, if the teams want to play seriously, they cannot lose. When you want to win, the opponent should not take you so seriously.”

About Aris and Toliopoulos: “They are a historic team, they do a very good job. They deserve congratulations, as do my team, because they are above Mars. It is good to have teams like Aris with a full stadium. I have to give credit to my players for going above and beyond.

Toliopoulos has always been a hard worker, but in the last two years he has sacrificed a lot. It’s been a while since we’ve seen a Greek player leading a Greek team. He deserves even more to be called up to the national team, just like the other guys we called up”.
