Spanoulis: “I’m happy”
Vassilis Spanoulis will be a player of the European Champion Olympiacos for three more years and his goal is to maintain the team to the top.
Following the signing of his contract, V-Span commented: “I hope we materialize the goals we have set and that are always going to be high ones because Olympiacos has made history these two last years and we have to continue this project with even more zeal, ambition and work. As we have said before, our goal is to always look ahead and always want more, without of course this meaning that we are ungrateful for what we have achieved up to now. We are going to work very hard, we are going to keep our heads low and work with humility, just like this club has always done, just like the Angelopoulos family has been behaving, with respect to what we do and lots of work and we are going to try and bring more success for Olympiacos. What I have received is incredible amounts of love from the fans, at a level that I had never thought I would be experiencing. I’m truly happy to be staying with the Olympiacos family under the leadership of the Angelopoulos brothers, with the coaching staff, my team mates with whom I have experienced unique moments during the last couple of years and as I have said before we shouldn’t be saying a lot. Too many talks are unnecessary. We now have to work hard on the floor”.
GIORGOS ANGELOPOULOS: “No, we were not worried that he was going to leave, we had just been waiting to talk to him, we had a nice talk, the river will not be turning back, we have said all about it. No, we haven’t set any goals yet, we are starting from scratch”.
PANAGIOTIS ANGELOPOULOS: “Today we inked Vassilis for three more years. Our goal is to keep being successful. For sure, now it’s easier than before. This is because Vassilis knows who we are and we know who he is, we have talked for long, we talked about everything, each one of us talked about what was on their minds and I believe that what we need to say apart from the financial aspect, around which everything else is actually focused, is that each player is a unique human being, they have feelings and when an athlete sees two people that love him that much and want to continue being successful with him, doesn’t need anything more to make a decision”.
