«The next two games are pivotal»
Scorer Charis Charisis spoke after the encounter against Panathinaikos in Leoforos.
On his goal:
«When I reached the edge of the area, I was in a position to shoot and did so without thinking about it further«.
On his technical shot:
«Most of my shots are powerful. I just thought that my chances would be better if I tried a more technical shot«.
On what Ivić told them at half-time:
«Our coach tried to boost our morale. We started slow, we were reduced to ten and things weren’t looking good. Ivić asked us to play for ourselves«.
On the low age average of the team:
«We sure have a youthful roster full of young players, along with some older who are very helpful with their advice. All 25 players can play and help at any time«.
On the upcoming matches against Panionios:
«These are the two most pivotal games of the play-offs. We need to be focused and get the best out of them«.
