THE Ioannis Papapetrou spoke of a unique atmosphere at Marblewhere history was made with the decision to hold this year’s “Pavlos Giannakopoulos” tournament, with Panathinaikos AKTOR to contend with Partisan.
“It was an unimaginable, unique atmosphere. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone. I am very happy for Panathinaikos and for what we achieved last year. We all know what Mr. Pavlos means to basketball and not only to Panathinaikos.
Competitively we are not at the level we want, we had additions but in preparation there were absences and injuries. I believe we will be ready. It is not always easy to get players to join a good team. The best 15 don’t always win, it takes chemistry, we’ll find our footing” the Greek forward told ERT and continued:
“The goals are the same. Opponents want to drop you from the top. When you are first everyone comes against you and wants to beat you. We have to put our heads in and we have what it takes to succeed”.
As for the gaming experience in open fieldhad to say:
“It was something incredible. It was a bit windy, there were no good rates. We are used to it differently. But it was a very beautiful atmosphere. Of course we made a lot of mistakes. We want to be ready for the Super Cup and the next official games”.
