Josko Milenkoski’s statements: “Congratulations to the players. After a difficult period without training, for more than ten days, with the last game on December 22 for the Super Cup, but we are satisfied with the result. We played well, we made 16 blocks, 50 % in Attack, 8 aces, we can’t be better at the moment and I think we’ll get better every day, we’re having a difficult time now, with Olympiakos and then three games with Panathinaikos, but that’s volleyball, that’s our job .

As for the game with Milonas, the third set was difficult and if we consider that we won 2-0 in the first game in Athens and then lost two sets, the same thing happened today. In other words, that third set was difficult and we have to work on it, that is, to be mentally ready for such situations. We have to keep calm when the score is “burning”, especially in the most difficult games against the top teams”.

The statements of Vassilis Karasavvidis: “If we take into account the time we abstained from action for about 20 days after winning the Supercup, we also had the coronavirus issue that we faced as a team during that time.

The game had snags because Milonas is a very good team, with a good coach, organised, the players know what they are doing on the pitch and, as a first, it took special attention and concentration to get the three points after such a long time , which are desired for us. We have to stay in all this time, we spent a lot of time in the stadium to get it.
