You remember how last season started, with Olympiakos winning the first two cups and Panathinaikos the other two. He has nothing to say. It is the first, it is important for our self-confidence. Tomorrow starts a new day, so heads in. We have two top teams, why not make the final between Panathinaikos and Olympiacos”.
