Following painful exclusion from Fener and Monaco in the semifinals of Abu Dhabi’s Final Four, Panathinaikos and Olympic They will face Sunday afternoon (25/05, 17:00) in the small Euroleague final.
Speaking to press representatives in the latest “red -white” training, the team leader, Kostas Papanikolaou, He referred to the enormous frustration in the Piraeus ranks, noting that They all can lift their heads and face the world of the club …
He then described as “Happy” the fact that there are the finals of the Greek leagueas another goal and a title remains to close the season in a positive way.
In detail what he said:
“It’s a great disappointment, we won’t hide it. The frustration for all the effort, all these years, is not only for this year. For the whole world that gives his backlash to come with us and as much as we want to taste this joy, but we want to give it to them. It’s with us all year, it’s with us on all travel. Frustration becomes greater. All children feel yesterday that we cannot lift the head to see the world. We see team fans at the hotel and personally I don’t have the courage to lift my head to look them in the eyes. You don’t know what is deprived of to come here. It sounds honey, but that’s the truth. That’s how we all feel.
It was a 40 minute very bad, Monaco was worth the victory, he played better than us. She won it in the parquet in her way of playing. We did not appear as we should be presented. The fact that we have to play Greek league finals is fortunate. Being another chance to win a title is given a chance to do something good, something nice and give something back to the fans. We have to be the least I say, professionals in what we do. The most … dry thing you can do is be a right professional and honor what you do. If we really feel bad for the fans, we must give them back all the effort of the year they have first made for us.
When you lose a Final Four semifinal after a battle all year, the climate is heavy. As of Monday when we return to Athens, we need to change the “chip” and get into another World. We haven’t made a bad team for a bad 40 minute, it has not made us deserve nothing. It was a 40 -minute key, but we have another chance. “
