Charalambos Andreopoulos, one of the protagonists of Panathinaikos’ 3-1 victory over Olympiakos in the Rentis hall, believed after winning the championship that everyone was betting on winning the title.
For the title in the headquarters of the “eternal opponent”:
“It’s true that we came to Olympiacos headquarters and won the championship, but we never had anything in mind that didn’t fit the history and beliefs of Panathinaikos: to come, that is, to get… that’s the title here. We “we just wanted to take it with us – either here, or in Agios Thomas, or in the headquarters of PAOK, somewhere. We weren’t “mad” about the idea of bringing it to our eternal adversary’s headquarters, just to do our job.”
For his determination and constant instructions:
“I’m not trying to do more than I am, I’m myself. We might not have played 100% in some games, but overall we had to show willpower to win the league and we did it.”
For this year’s Panathinaikos course:
“We tried every day not to do our job anymore. I’m glad that the result was what we wanted. To work as a team. Many of us were written off, we believed in ourselves and we succeeded.”
For the message he wanted to send to the world:
“Panathinaikos fans don’t need instructions, I say it, I don’t do it to make a comment because I’ve been with the team for 16 years and the two championships we’ve won and the one League Cup in Komotini Alexandroupolis, in tel aviv we went to a village in ukraine eight hours from kyiv and panathinaikos friends came we went to turkey i can’t tell these guys i’m happy because they come and support us they come , to celebrate”.
