Olympiacos is and always will be my priority.

Kostas Sloukas spoke about respecting Fenerbahçe as well as Olympiacos, which is his priority.

Olympiacos got a ticket to the Final Four in Kaunas, where Kostas Sloukas was the MVP of the series. After the end of the fifth match, the international goalkeeper talked about the elements that made the difference in the series and what connects him with Olympiacos.

In detail what he said:

The truth is that I have prepared well, both from a training and psychological point of view. After the Maccabi game, where I fell really hard, I was out for a month, and then I had a problem with my calf. I was aiming to be good at qualifying. Congratulations to Fenerbahce. It was a very tough fight. Corpses were falling on the field. They did everything they could to steal our credentials. It is important to be in the final, to be there“.

On Poetry with Ali Qatus:These are things we discuss with each other. That there is respect on both sides. There was obviously booing after game three, but that’s about it. Fenerbahce is in my heart. Olympiacos is and will always be a priority, which is why it celebrated qualifying for the Final Four“.

On comparisons to last year’s series against Monaco: “The two chains were the same. Fenerbahçe is a more difficult home. He put a lot of pressure on us on the series“.

On the fact that he will be in the Final Four for the 10th time in his career: “If I go back in time, what I achieved was not what I expected. I didn’t even dream about it. I have suffered and been deprived of many things. I do not regret it. It’s something I love. When you give love, dedication, and sacrifice, luck turns“.

for game 5:In the latter game, tactics and details go awry. Who wants it more? The characters are progressing. There were players who pulled the bat, and that’s why we celebrate“.

On his injury just before the final:It’s a normal knee. At that time, under the tension, you don’t understand anything. I continue. We’ll see tomorrow, but nothing serious“.
