The journey continues
The curtain fell on this year's Euroleague for Olympiacos , but the message sent by the people who created this company was clear: " The journey continues" George and Panagiotis Angelopoulos unanimously said speaking to journalists during the flight from Madrid to Athens.
"We want to congratulate the team coach and the players for this incredible course we had to date. We came a breath away of claiming a three -peat; it has never been done before with these conditions and in this context. We are proud of this team, the journey continues, we just came to a stop, the future belongs to Olympiakos, belongs to this team. They are all young kids, have a very low average age and I believe very soon we will be back on top of Europe, where we deserve to be. It turned out that the home advantage was key, we lost it in the game against Armani in the Peace and Friendship Stadium. The main reason was injuries that season. Not only that, but the main reason was. It's hard to play without so many key players, Law and Spanoulis and Printezis and Perperoglou, the constant injuries were tough on us. It was not the sole cause, nor we look for excuses. We strongly believe in this team and believe that very soon we will be back on top. Thank you very much, " was the comment made by George Angelopoulos initially and then Panagiotis Angelopoulos continued: " We are proud of our team, we fought, did not give up our crown, lost to Real, which , too, is a team that we played last year at the final route . This year we were hit by injuries, we made the best of what is. And as my friend and my brother has said, the future belongs to Olympiakos . Both in terms of what we believe but also in terms of core players and average age of players. "
