Panagiotis Kalaitzakis spoke on the air of News Bulletin 247 and to Giorgos Petridis about the great, as well as historic, upset over Olympiakos and the winning of the championship by Panathinaikos AKTOR.
The Greek forward mentioned that winning the championship was more “sweet” since the “greens” found themselves behind in the score with 2-0spoke of everyone’s belief in the title, while at the same time, revealed how about the problems he had this year Papapetrou even considered quitting basketball!
The statements of Panagiotis Kalaitzakis in detail:
“The season ended with a double. Sweeter that we were behind in the score and had to make it three wins. We achieved something remarkable in the season. We won the Euroleague from 17th place last year. I have no words. I am very grateful, may we have health to achieve many things in the future.
Everyone knows that I have been a fan of Panathinaikos since I was little. It makes my hair stand up a little too, it’s a little more emotional for me. I haven’t missed a Panathinaikos game that I didn’t watch. And for the double to come in my 2nd year, I didn’t expect it. I thank God, my friends, the world, my family.
Let’s go with the national team to the pre-Olympics now, let’s be healthy and everything will come.
In the first two games of the finals, we were not ourselves and in terms of energy. Then we sat down and said we are the best team in Europe and we can turn it around. We believed it.
Slukas is the best basketball player, he is a legend. Nunn played with minus three teeth today, Papapetrou has had a tough year, we are close and we had discussed that he was close to quitting basketball because of his knee. All the guys gave more than they could and we are here with the double and we will sleep happy.
This year we went one step further, all the last matches were sold out. We knew that with such a crowd on our side we were not going to lose in here.”
