“Eternal” derby against the background of the championship… act one!
This evening, Mr Panathinaikos welcomes the opponent in awe, Olympicin the closed gym of Mets (18:00, sport-fm.gr, PAO TV) in the first match between them for the this year’s Volley League finals which will be decided on the three wins.
The two “eternals” have been pitted against each other altogether eight times in the final playoffs of the Volley League, with the “red and white” counting 4 conquests and the “green” three.
His team Dimitris Andeopoulos enters this year’s finals with the best possible mentality. And this because last Sunday he celebrated his conquest 4th League Cup Nikos Samaras over PAOK, and while earlier he had eliminated the “doubleheader of the north” with a score of 3-1 in the semi-finals of the championship.
On the other hand, Piraeus are also coming from winning a title, since at the end of March they beat Milos 3-2 sets and lifted the Greek Cup. In fact, they faced the Nea Smyrni team in the semi-finals of the Volley League, which they eliminated difficult with 3-2 wins.
Both teams this year have one win each and even with the same score (3-1 set) in the regular season of the championship, with Panathinaikos however finishing first and having the home field advantage in the finals.
At the competitive end, the “greens” have a serious absence, that of the Cuban Jerezuelo who due to his injury will be absent from all the finals, while Daniel Castellani will be deprived of the precious, Nikos Zoupanis.
