“We made a serious effort against an opponent of greater dynamics. We were there for 30 minutes But this is not enough. You have to be very concentrated Throughout the game and execute properly in defense and attack.

Prometheus always has profits. It produces, relies on many new players. Every year he tries for steps in front of Greek players with talent. “

Later, at the press conference, he stressed: “Congratulations to Panathinaikos. We were competitive for 25-27 minutes, we had no power for more. We are pleased with our attack, but the difference in quality and quantity between the two teams did not allow us to be more competitive as we would like. Good continuity to Panathinaic. The feeling left by Final 8 is How David is fighting with Goliath, I think the format should change.

There should be the case of surprise in a game. Assuming we were winning Panathinaikos today, to win and on Sunday Olympiacos would need Another miracle. If we want to motivate the teams, it needs to change something, because the conditions are excellent and the holiday is nice, for us it is a week of pressure. The differences are great in the league, but perhaps in the cup one different format would give a greater interest. The eternal can play with this format only in the final, that’s all that can change. ”
