Costas Sloukas exclusively at SPORT24: “Olympiacos is a very big club and is nourished by the titles”

Costas Sloukas was in seventh heaven after the big shot against Anantolou Efes that increased Olympiakos to 14-9 in the EuroLeague and helped them take another important step towards the top 8 and qualifying for the playoffs.

The Greek point guard spoke to Sportish and Pantelis Diamantopoulos – Spyros Kavalierato from the SEF floor and gave the signal for immediate landing and continuation in Greece and Europe as crucial matches follow and of course Greek Cup Final Four Sloukas wants 2/2 for the trophy.

Details of what Costas Sloukas said:

“I got the rebound, I tried to clear the field. There was a contact, but the referees didn’t give it. I saw McKissick move well and do a big phase. He didn’t stress, he had insight, I called him, I saw Morman and the clock, I pretended he shot and he walked in. We played with the European champions, we lost our rhythm for two minutes, they turned the game around and were already in front. We showed the character and the metal we have.

As I said, the game was very difficult and very important, despite the lack of people. We won the European champion. I didn’t play well in Efes, today I felt good and I think we all gave our souls, we knew how important the game was. Very big win, we don’t look at the other results. We determine our destiny. We achieved all three of our goals and are high in the Euroleague, which few believed.

It all depends on the team. When the team is successful, people worship us. If it doesn’t play well… Olympiacos are a very big club. It’s important that we compete in national competitions, Olympiacos is an organization that feeds on titles. The cup is a very important event. The game with AEK was a cuff, the injuries came back, we’re a good team, we have good players and we’re tied.”
