Garry Rodrigues was voted Vodafone MVP of the encounter between PAOK and Panathinaikos and spoke to media representatives in the mixed zone of Toumba Stadium after the team won the play-offs.
On the season that just ended:
«I am very happy that a very tough season ended in a great way. Nobody expected it at the beginning of the play-offs –just us. I am very happy that we made everyone believe in our potential«.
On his season:
«From a collective point of view, it was a tough season that started with many new players. It took time to find the necessary blend and become a team. The season ended in the best possible way, as we achieved our most important aim. I am happy I helped and I feel very well here«.
On Vladan Ivić:
«First of all, congratulations are in order because he deserves it on a personal level. He took over at a very delicate time of the season and achieved something that seemed impossible. He deserved it as a coach as well and I am very happy for him. It’s a very good collaboration«.
