Papanikolaou: “Now we feel like we’ve failed, but at the box office of the season the Final Four was a success”

In the feelings that prevail now, however, it will be different in the box office of the season that will be done at the end was mentioned, among others, the Kostas Papanikolaou at his media day Olympiakou in view of the small final of the Euroleague against Fenerbahce (26/06, 18:00).

“The feelings are bitter, it has definitely bothered us, but you have to keep your head up and look ahead. I think we didn’t come in with the fighting spirit that we wanted and the fighting spirit that got us here. When you let Real Madrid get comfortable, it’s hard to come back“, he initially said and continued:

“Here, now, we feel like we’ve failed. In the box office of the season at the end it is a success that the team has gone to three Final Four. It is work that takes place throughout the year and concerns everyone. From the coach, the players, the administration, the doctors, the people in the staff and in the KAE offices“, while he was also asked about the eventual winning of the trophy by his friend, Kostas Sloukas.

“It will not affect us, it will be a success for a Greek team to win the trophy. But since we’re not in the final, I’m telling you the truth and I’m expressing a personal opinion, I don’t care who gets it».
