Patras: “We made mistakes that are not forgiven”

Christos Patras stressed that PAOK did not give up any of the three lost sets against Olympiacos and demanded a victory in the second final in Thessaloniki for the finals to continue with interest, praised the “reds” and the performance of Koumboura, asked to correct them.

In detail: “We are playing against a very strong team that does not forgive the many mistakes. We were out of the standards, which we were lately, something very reasonable, as other teams were facing another team. I keep that we did not give up any sets, even when the differences increased. I find it very important for evolution.

The series is now returning to our ‘home’, we will look to hold our headquarters and continue the series. The effort was very great, because on a mediocre day the girls fought. Olympiacos played very well and congratulations. Keep the very good numbers he does in the last races. Kubura was excellent with 30 points. If you look at the statistics, the numbers speak for themselves. We have nothing to do, we have to correct what we can and play on some mistakes we haven’t made lately, as after a rival time-out we lost the service, which had never happened, had never happened.

This is a simple detail, which is important, as when the opposing coach gets a timeout and we lose the service, this is a mistake that is not forgiven at such a level. We are human, however, we cannot have 90% in every game in every game, like the latest games. I don’t see anything weird. We have nice days ahead of us to calm down, solve some themes, and get into the second final that will take place at our headquarters, in ‘Palataki’.

We must not only look at our interest, that is, a team has to play in order to win, but also to upgrade the product. ‘Palataki’ is an amazing stadium and we will enjoy a great game. I believe that our fans will respond as we need them, since the power of our own team is really its people. “
