The team's Presidents, Panagiotis and Giorgos Angelopoulos talk about winning the Super Cup

The Presidents of Olympiacos BC, Panagiotis and Giorgos Angelopoulos, talked about winning the Super Cup final against Panathinaikos.

"It's the first title of the season and we are happy to have won it against Panathinaikos, who was very strong. It was a very strong game, we are building on psychology. We were missing players tonight. Fall and Milutinov were out. The team is not 100% yet. Petrusev was the real win for us tonight. He has realized that he's staying and he can build a career with Olympiacos", was what Panagiotis Angelopoulos mentioned in his original statement and then Giorgos Angelopoulos took over to stress that: "Tonight the first title of the season was decided. It's very important for us. Since we came back to the League, we have won 8 out of 9 Greek titles we played for, but the competition level is very high. You saw how the game went down. We are going to see good games, the important thing is that the fans get to enjoy them and we'll see what happens at the end".

When Giorgos Angelopoulos was asked about who was the MVP of the tournament, he said: "The team wins as a whole, the coach builds the team. Sasha is key, but it's a group effort". About the principles of Olympiacos' game, P. Angelopoulos said: "I believe they remain the same. We have very good players and we are a real threat from the 3-point line, so we are certainly going to score more points. It's certain that our defense is going to get better".

Asked about the possibility of an Olympiacos - Panathinaikos Euroleague final, he replied: "I don't know if this historic final is going to happen. It's not of our concern. It's very early to talk about all that. The Euroleague is just beginning and it's even stronger this year. It's going to be tough. We aim to win the first game against Fenerbahce, make the top-6, make the playoffs and then the Final Four".
