Costas Papanikolaou stressed that Olympiacos defeated in Kaunas a team that is in a terrible state of play and with great victories in the last matches, he considers that the biggest bodies of the opponents in the rebounds were properly matched, he considers the help of his teammates important for his own performance and gave a signal for the victory over Panathinaikos in Thursday’s derby.
Analytically: “It was a very important victory against a team with great momentum. Defeated here the first two of the ranking. We coped and got a big victory. We took out intensity, energy and put big shots at the end.
Zalgiris is dangerous in its ‘home’ and we know how difficult it is to play here. We had to match their strength and body in the rebounds. From the moment we did it to a good degree, we made important defenses and we were able to make our own job easier. In the end, we went up and they seemed to fall. ”
For its own performance: “My offensive performance depends to a large extent on our pilots. I can finish the match with three shots, maybe there will be matches that I will find more. This happened today and I’m glad they came in. I have heard a lot about my aggressive harvest this year. “Today my teammates found me, the shots came in, but even if they did not come in, if the victory came, everything would be fine”.
For the match with Panathinaikos that follows: “Our job is the next game, just as difficult. We are looking at the next step and we do not want to ‘stumble’, looking higher at the top “.
