In his air News Bulletin 247 and Giorgos Petridis was spoken by his assistant Ergin Ataman, Christos Serelis, for the huge upset and the conquest of the Greek championship by Panathinaikosbut also for the dream season in Greece and Europe.
The statements of Christos Serelis in detail:
“Big moment for the team. It took many years for him to win the European Championship. We are happy, I think we are rightfully first in Greece, it was a fantastic game today. And Olympiacos fought very hard. The whole year, however, we were ahead of the championship.
I don’t know if this has happened before, it’s rare that we make such a rise. It was sure to be something good from the end of last season. It may all have come faster than even the most optimistic would have liked. Both the EuroLeague and the championship came emphatically against a great opponent who was also in the Final 4. It was like we won two EuroLeagues this year!
Let’s give credit to the players for how good they are mentally, because both in the Euroleague with Maccabi and here we found ourselves with our backs against the wall, but they showed self-denial, they concentrated. Kostas has done a great job on this whole part in the locker room. Nan has put in incredible performances in crucial games. All the children helped so we achieved both goals.
I don’t want to diminish Olympiakos at all who led 2-0, we were not at all good mentally in those matches, there was a feeling of Berlin. The second victory of Olympiakos brought us to our level. We gave it all to SEF and brought the series to even.
Now we feel everywhere that we are playing at home in Europe. The power they give us is incredible. It helps us a lot, players and coaches, giving us an extra push to never give up.”
