Hidalgo: “We proved we are the best team in Greece”
Salvador Hidalgo declared immediately after the game that Olympiacos had proved by winning and qualifying against Panathinaikos that they are the best team in Greece.
Salvador Hidalgo was delighted with Olympiacos’ magnificent win over Panathinaikos and qualifying for the Challenge Cup final in the golden set, saying in his post-match statements that the Reds and Whites proved they were the strongest team in the country Greece while commenting on the tragic events that happened yesterday that led to the postponement of the game.
In detail, what Salvador Hidalgo told COSMOTE TV immediately after the game: “We read Panathinaikos well. Losing at home is a failure. When we lost the first set we said we had nothing left to lose. We played well in receiving, defending, serving and blocking. We proved that we are the best team in Greece. That’s what we came for, that’s what we did“.
What happened yesterday: “I felt bad for what happened yesterday with everyone getting hurt. Our eyes were red, we couldn’t breathe. CEV gave us the chance to play today. We were born for these games. I’m sorry about what happened and that there were no people today. Sorry for what happened yesterday, for those who got hurt“.
