Statements after the victory of Panathinaikos AKTOR over Olympiakos in the third final of this year’s Stoiximan Basket League, made by Ioannis Papapetrou.
The forward of the “greens” emphasized that he and his teammates showed fighting spirit and character, fighting hard throughout the match to finally reach the victory, while he made it clear that now the only goal is to win the SEF as well, so that to restore order to OAKA.
What the Panathinaikos forward said in detail:
“We showed fighting spirit, our backs were against the wall, we played really hard and we fought the whole game. I think both teams have shown character and achieved a lot this year. It’s important to understand that it’s only 2-1 and we have to keep playing the same way.”.
For Wednesday’s match at SEF: “I expect a difficult home, we know that in OAKA we play very well. We have to win in SEF to bring the series back here in this awesome atmosphere”.
For his team’s defense: “We were ready and focused on defense. We should not have any gaps and that way we will be able to turn this row around. The defense will help us turn it around like we did in the Final 4. We stayed in the game in Olympiakos’ comeback. We only made it 2-1, we know who we are and we’re going to win the next game”.
