Angelopoulos: “We accepted a ruthless war after the F4, but we stayed up – we don’t know how Barzokas could stand!”

After the conquering the championship In the Game 4 of the Stoiximan Basket League finals, the Panagiotis and George Angelopoulos talked to the press conference with George Barzoka With intense emotional charge for the importance of the title, the difficulties of the year and the principles that – as they emphasized – guide him Olympic.

Panagiotis Angelopoulos described the title “The championship of our ethics and values“, Stressing that the team managed to transfer these principles to the players. “If you can transmit it to the team, it’s important. We managed to“He said, while also in the pressure, which was accepted by George Bardzokas:”The depreciation she met after Abu Dhabi was frightening. I don’t know how he endured. Congratulations to the coach for his strengths”

Referring to the course of the group, he noted: ‘We did these players, Greeks and foreigners, who played or not playing all season all season”

George Angelopoulos, for his part, stood the attacks that – as he said – the team and himself. “I read many articles about the rich, about the elite … everyone’s right to say whatever they want. I don’t agree. We have proven who we are, not only in Olympiacos but also in public life“, He said, adding:”If someone comes out surname and says ” he did it ” and are criminal offenses, and the other is not going to deny anything, what do you say? Did he say it or not said it? Transcends logic”

Himself revealed that Olympiacos was determined to leave the championship if the government insisted on its interruption. “It was a matter of values ​​and principles. Were more important than a title“, He stressed, while also referring to the inequalities that – in his opinion – exist:”We do not have our own stadium, nor our own media. The opponent has both. But values ​​come out here and that’s why we’re proud of”

In detail what they said:

P. Angelopoulos: “It was a historic title in the 100th anniversary of Olympiacos, we are proud, there was a great battle for the result. After the rational frustration for the lost semifinals, the team fought a ruthless war from unspecified sources. As if anyone who goes Final 4 has to conquer it. Today the team wrote history, we found ourselves with our backs after 1-0, there I can say that with George, Skindilia and Lepeniotis we spent endless hours on the phones to help the team. Internal speeches were made, we did not release them, they were made on closed doors. This was not enough, because Panathinaikos is a big opponent, with great players. It was not 1-1, but we showed character and dedicate the title to our world for 100 years”

G. Angelopoulos: “We are very proud and happy about the title, it is perhaps the most crucial title for our own story at Olympiacos. We had injuries, difficulties, a downside to a major opponent, with an attack on the team. Some sources have been identified, but we stayed up, we had complete faith in the team and reached a very important title against a team that has titles and has a budget perhaps taller than ours. With its own stadium, with media owned by the team owner. We do not have our own stadium, we do not have fortunately or unfortunately ours. We have to go out to say it. It was assimilated and leveling that transcends imagination. Today is a day of joy, triumph. I would like to personally thank the coach for all the years and especially for this year for the pressure and we all saw this spectacle and passion. The players are the protagonists and the players, we will come forward if needed to do what we need. This team is one of the most successful in Olympiacos history, since we came back after the shocking decision we made. The titles are 9-2 since then, we lost a championship on the shot, you can say a lot about this race, with absences, with a phall injury, but so is sports. You can’t win continuously. It’s a great success. I don’t want to say about Europe, I hope the future brings us even greater joys”

G. Angelopoulos: “Because I read many articles about the rich, about the elite … it is the right of everyone to say whatever they want. I do not agree, we have proven who we are, not only in Olympiacos but also in public life. If someone comes out and says ‘he did this’ and are criminal offenses, they are vomiting and immoral and the other does not come out to deny anything, what do you say? Did he say it or not said it? It goes beyond logic, I honestly have been left untouched for leveling. Everyone has their opinion. At some point we may have to discuss it in detail. Olympiacos was determined if the government insisted on stopping the championship. They are themes of values ​​and principles, there we couldn’t do it there, it was more important than a championship. We had absolute faith in the team and its potential. It was a crisis management, it was done in the best way and scary personal costs. With the media it is difficult to put them on. We are a team without its own stadium and the media control, the opponent has both. But values ​​come out here and that’s why we’re proud of”

P. Angelopoulos: “It is the championship of our ethics and values. If you can transmit it to the team, it’s important. We did it. Congratulations to the coach for his strengths, the depreciation he met after Abu Dhabi was frightening, I don’t know how he could stand up. We did these players we have, Greeks and strangers, who were playing or not playing all season all season”

G. Angelopoulos: “It doesn’t make us say the attacks we said in the group. Are difficult to translate. It was a spontaneous and very strong speech. Some issues remain within the walls. It had some effect as I understand. We rarely make such moves, I would rarely say. I don’t remember in the last 15 years this has happened. Had a rigor, but always with love”

G. Angelopoulos: “We are all a family and we do not say it in words. I haven’t seen so passionate Olympic. I’m not talking racing, I haven’t seen so much passion in the parquet from the whole team. The appearances were shocking. Maybe this (what Giannakopoulos did) played a role, but I’m not sure”

P. Angelopoulos: “And I knew what Mr Ataman said I wouldn’t answer. Toxicity must have an end. Courts will have a job in the next few days”

Whether they are waiting for Giannakopoulos measures by government

P. Angelopoulos: “It is a matter of the state to tighten the framework. Must be done, hopefully done from next season”

G. Angelopoulos: “Last year in Barcelona after qualifying in Final 4 I had said that toxicity is dangerous. One can enjoy the simulation. It is purely a matter of legality and we need to see what sports we want in Greece. It’s not about personal. If one wants to make a derogatory, ironic, derogatory post every ten minutes … We talk, we suggest, but the government decides.

For the chef

George for chef: “Today is a day of joy. The issue of the stadium will follow. I think it’s close but we don’t have to say something official right now”

P. Angelopoulos: “We believe we will take the stadium. We have a four -year period that we will be minus from Panathinaikos, eighty million minus, because we want to make the chef for two years. We are optimistic, if we weren’t, we wouldn’t be in Olympiacos”

G. Angelopoulos: “You are right that there is a delay. We want to be positive. If not, we will see what will happen”
