We are Panathinaikos and we have learned to manage the pressure, but certainly in a final there is always stress. We try to cheer each other up. The Hesperides are a team who constantly change defences, so we have to be constantly alert to cope“, emphasized the international guard.

We are ready for the race and we came today to put the final touches, we relaxed a bit at the end of training and we are going for the win tomorrow.

We will make our lives easier if we set our own pace and follow our plan“, said the power forward from Croatia.
Regarding the holding of the two finals on the same day, he commented: “It’s something fantastic. I hope that the men’s team of Panathinaikos will also be in the final. I am sure that our people will be by our side».
