Kostas Sloukas emphasized that in the quarter-finals Panathinaikos must work hard to qualify for the final four, he spoke about the slow start against Alba and his own performance and effort, he praised the presence of the crowd and asked them to keep fighting.
Analytically: “It was an excellent effort by the whole team and not just mine. As I said last week, we deserved second place, we fought for it and we didn’t want to lose this opportunity. We have to understand that we have to work hard from now on because we fought for seven months for these games that are coming.
Today we were relaxed at the start, we made life more difficult, but the fourth quarter was the way we want to play. I feel good, I am healthy, I try to give everything to the team and the coach and my teammates trust me.
You see how the world pushes us too. We enjoy what we do and tonight we were playing the bottom team and there were 18,000 people here. This means a lot to everyone. Last year the team was 17th and there was no support even against big teams. We are in a position that we dreamed of at the beginning of the season and we have to keep fighting.”
