Statements by Kostas Slokas

“It is a great honor and pleasure for me and to represent my team. A tournament in honor of a very great personality in Greek and European sports. Speaking of the tournament, we are in the final stage of our preparations. I call on the people to stand by us, as their presence throughout the year is important.».

On how Pavlos saw Giannakopoulos as an opponent: “As I said in my previous speech, he is a very big figure in Greek sport and in Europe in general. Besides being an owner who had great confidence in his team, he gave his heart and soul. It was a very difficult team as I saw, and you know, they are eternal rivals.” “Sometimes he performed better in Europe, other times at Olympiacos. It’s always a derby. Now with the additions the president has made, it will make the match with Olympiacos even more interesting.”

For the love of the world: “The truth is that the world applauded me when I came as a competitor, whereas different approaches are usually taken towards those players who played at Olympiacos. What I said is that I do not provoke. I was booed as a Fener player at Olympiacos. I received a lot of love.” “From the friends of Panathinaikos and I are waiting for them next to us, and I am very optimistic.”
