Kanchelieri: “We are all happy, respect for my players”

Massimo Kanchelieri stressed that he had no energy left after a strong and difficult night, dedicated to Sole’s qualification to his players, who respects themselves, described PAOK’s qualification in the FIBA ​​Europe Cup final, and stood by the games. It was moved by the fact that some historical executives of the club have cried for the qualification and believes that the “black and white” fans will already give up everything to deal exclusively with the two matches against Bilbao.

In detail: “We are very happy to have won. I don’t have much energy now, the match was difficult. I dedicate the victory to my players with respect to everyone. The team did it alone and won. For PAOK it is a historic moment, I have to thank the players, I am obliged to do that.

The players have gotten here, we want two more matches for the trophy. We were discussing before we started in Antalya. We were with Sole, it was September, we were young, I am already big, but they matured and what they did is a masterpiece. Everyone must be proud, those who played, those who did not play, scored or not.

What makes me feel lucky here is the reaction of some historical figures of the club who almost cried after the semifinals. I saw Mr. Tsalopoulos doing so because he was very happy. I think we did something special for them, that’s important.

I believe that fans will not work for ten days and prepare for the final. I know how Thessaloniki works. Prepare extra flights when the time comes, because I think we are playing in Bilbao first, we have to divide the stadium into two, black and white on one side. ”
