It was much more difficult games than all the others, because we come from results that were not at the level of Panathinaikos. It was difficult to prepare, I thank the players who worked very hard and the fans who came to the stadium, although we had disappointed them many times this year. They came and with the pulse and the positive energy they had they helped us get the points we need».

For where the match was judged: «He was judged during the first half. Through the transition we managed to create dangerous situations. In the second half, due to the score, we gave more space to AEK, it could control the game. Good for the spectator game with many phases. I’m glad we’re on the winning side today. AEK played a good game, we were disciplined and dangerous in all the attacks we made».

For the success of the playoffs: «Being Panathinaikos in this position at the moment is not something pleasant. We have an obligation to fight until the end in both the championship and the cup. We must not forget that this is not the year we can be proud of our results. We are aware of where we are and we can fix things».
