The statements of George and Panagiotis Angelopoulos
For the continuation of a successful year: “The team is continuing. After a summer with new players we continue and always target the titles. The team is reinforced, more athletic. Another player has come today, also athletic. I think we will be better than last year.”
For what it means to start the season with a trophy: “Ideal start for the new season, we hope to keep going, with many titles this year.”
For the chef’s project and the other steps taken by Olympiacos: “The most important step in the summer was the SEF deal. We always try to do the best and so we made all the other moves in the summer.”
On whether the transcriptions for Olympiacos were over: “This is what the coach will see. The team is on a very good level, we always look at the season. If we need something, we will see it. So far, we are the ones we are.”
For Euroleague: “Every year is even more difficult. That’s why we have so many players and that’s why they need so much and good players. What we can say is that the important thing is to qualify for the playoffs, either in the first or in another position. It is not very much worth what has proven to be.
On whether the Olympic favorite is: “I don’t think we are a favorite. Olympiacos is in the elite of European basketball, I wish we had the top. Other teams are a favorite, especially this year. There is no extra pressure, but extra will and thirst.”
For stubbornness for the top: “It’s too early to talk about peaks. As soon as the year started, there are a lot of issues. We hope to go well.”
For Olympiacos reminiscent of a family: “It’s always a powerful element. Otherwise you can’t spend every year on the Final Four. If you don’t have good chemistry between players, coaches and us, we wouldn’t get to the Final Four every year.”
