Limniatis: “We forced Panathinaikos to play to win us”

After congratulating his players for their efforts in the game with Panathinaikos, George Limniatis stood in the gain of their appearance, stressing that they had forced him not to have an easy night but to … play based on his potential to get the victory.

In detail his statements:

“Congratulations to my team that was competitive for almost 35 minutes. Without this leaving us completely satisfied because whatever opponent we have against us to claim the rate of victory we are. I also told the kids in a timeout in the 35 ‘that we couldn’t have enough that we were competitive, with Panathinaikos having played the game normally coming from a Euroleague game and with Nan playing 33 minutes, one realizes that we had to play Panathinaikos to play us.

And that was the point, as every time we have Panathinaikos and Olympic opponents. I wish Panathinaikos good luck in view of the EuroLeague and the Greek Championship. I would like to thank them for our last game in Peristeri for the support of the team and in my face.

For me it is an honor I lead from the training post, because you all know the size of the club and what it has offered to Greek basketball. If we made an account without the league ending, we are not satisfied because we had to achieve more things and the responsibility is clearly mine.

We have very important games in front of us and I say games because as it is the system we have to win Panionios at home that is very strong and claim the maximum scoring position and allows us to format. That is, 6th place, starting from the match with Panionios. That is the goal. We have enough time to improve and add things to get the team higher.

Happy Easter and Happy Resurrection to everyone. And I wish all the groups in Europe to succeed. To PAOK to win the Cup, AEK to go to the Final Four and have a Greek final and a Greek champion team. “
