The Panathinaikos technician pointed out that he does not feel pressure that the Final 4 is in Athens and stressed that it would be very beautiful and the two Greek teams be in it.
“I have no pressure in Athens. The pressure is to be in the Final 4 and to win and it doesn’t matter where you are. I would like to congratulate all the league teams and the league for choosing the most beautiful stadium in Europe. In Athens everyone loves basketball, not only in Panathinaikos but also in Olympiacos, and Olympiacos fans are excellent and want to be in any Final 4 in whatever city. What is the most important? The two teams are in Final 4. You know because Final 4 is in Athens there is no guarantee that Panathinaikos and Olympiacos will be there. We will fight to be and I believe that all Greek basketball supporters will be there. It is very difficult for me that some people in Greece did not want to be the Final 4 in their hometown, in their home country. I believe the teams finally made the best decision, the smartest decision“, He said.
