"We need our first win away from Thessaloniki, it is a good opportunity for us, but the game will not be easy. I know the condition of my team, while during the week's trainings some players were absent. We are not a team with a roster of 18 players, so we try day by day to maximise our effort in order to get better. As for the game, it is going to be a smart and physical game, and I hope that the referees will play good.
As for Olympia, they have a really good momentum after their two wins in the row and their win against P.A.O.K. in a very tough game. So we have to try a lot in order to play for the win as usual. Finally, I hope that the team can reach the record that managed to do two years ago, but I have to noticedthat the team now is different, has many young players, but we want definately to reach the same level as we did two years ago."
"We want to go to Larissa to grab the win. We know that the game will be difficult, but we are well prepaired. The coach is prepairing us for the best, so we know how to face Olympia, which is a very strong team in their home-court. We have to be concentrated for 40' and as for me, this week was the first that I followed the normal training-program of the team. I think the team is great and has a good chemistry, things that are the most important for a team. Every player tries every day to achieve the team's goals and we are getting better day by day."
