Olympic or Milo? The “red and white” welcome (17:00, ERT3) at “Melina Merkouri” Neosmyrniotes and the winning team will make it 3-2 and at the same time seal a ticket for the VolleyLeague finals. Where Panathinaikos is waiting, who knocked out PAOK 3-1 in the series.
Piraeus have found it more difficult than expected against Milos, who with his presence has earned respect, as at home took both matches 3-0 in the series, as a result of which he has come closer than ever to qualifying for the finals. Olympiacos prevailed 3-0 in the first match and 3-1 in the 3rd.
“Monday’s game is very important for us. Obviously we are not satisfied with our performance but the most important thing is to get the win to go to the finals of the league. Our team is highly motivated for this match and I am sure that we will show our best side, based on our potential which we have shown many times during the season. We are not happy with what happened in this period but now what we care about is getting tomorrow’s match to be in the finals“, said Daniel Castellani.
THE Sakis Psarras emphasized: “We have a sweet anticipation for the fifth semi-final which actually has the character of a final. It is the first time that Milonas has come so close to the finals of the Volley League. We are starting to read our opponent even better. We know what we have to do to get results. We will try to spoil the reception of Olympiakos and I believe that apart from our service, the key to victory will be the percentages in the attack or in good conditions or with a high ball. Here we are, everything is possible. Our goal is to have an attack above 50% and on “spoilt” balls or on the counter attack to have an attack above 40%».
Raphael Koumendakis said: “It is very pivotal and important game for us. We have the home advantage, we will play with our people, in our stadium and we want the victory. Milonas is a team that has given us a lot of trouble, they are respectable and tomorrow we will give everything to go to the finals».
In 19 games, Olympiacos has 16 wins and Milos has 3 wins.
