Concerts by Vezenkov, Papanikolaou and Larentzaki at game night: “I came to call the children for a photo”
After Olympiacos conquered the Greek Cup, Vezenkov, Papanikolaou and Larentzakis gave a presentation at the game night with the teasing, the plates, but also the serious answers that are not missing.
Olympiakos was the big winner of the Greek Cup in Crete and Vezenkov, Papanikolaou and Larentzakis gave recitals at Game Night, teasing each other, plates for past performances, but also seriously answering Pantelis Diamantopoulos’ questions.
The prompting was Larentzakis, who put in the plan to call his other two team-mates for a photo in the Cup Winners’ Cup dressing room.
The interview was started by Sasha Vezenkov, who said: “Difficult game, we had a problem for three ten minutes and they made great shots. It was a nice final and we are happy that we won. Certainly you will lose shots as you will handle later. It happened and fatigue plays a role.We play, we scold, we don’t play, moaning again?
I think Wookup did a great job and all the kids and I’m glad all the kids did a great job. The Euroleague is not waiting for you. Milan will definitely come to hold third place. Then there is the National for children. Many games and we must forget them.
Nobody knows what the coach knows. Those that are inside offer and are different. In the end, when you lose and find a top 5 that works, you gain confidence and the effort that went into it was shocking to the kids“.
The baton was taken by Costas Papanikolaou, who wanted to hurt his team-mate but in the interview stepped in…for good and explained why he was transferred after the end of the final.
“It wasn’t crying, it was emotion. It was a combination of things. More importantly for me, since 2018 with AEK I’ve had a weight on my chest. I was left with a weight that we’ve owed ever since. It was the first I thought, like a stone had left me.
As the third quarter began, Panathinaikos made some baskets and the difference went to 12 and the momentum was theirs. There is no fear. It’s a match. Everything seemed to be on their side at that moment, but the children’s effort was outstanding. The best part was that if you exclude Sasha, the protagonists were different.
What I have to say is: How can you tell if everyone is good? If we had players who score 20 points every game, we would score 240 points. Every team knows what everyone is doing.
It’s amazing to have a player like Dorsey. The team can get stuck and you can get away, but having a player, a defender like Wookup is just as good. “Everyone is important and a piece of the puzzle for future success.”
Finally, Giannoulis Larentzakis broke the plan when he wanted to invite the other two into the dressing room for a photo. Of course, he couldn’t help but make a few statements in front of the Game Night camera, saying that his goal now is the championship. At the same time, he emphasized Wokap’s excellent work in defence, which he said was characteristic “He beat Nedovic in basketball.”
“I want a championship now. The feeling is terrible. I want to call the kids for a photo. We’re very happy to come back and score the first goal of the year. We continue. He beat Nedovic.”
