Dimitris Giannakopoulos posted on Instagram after the victory-qualification against Monaco and commented on Panathinaikos's performance this season, while expressing his certainty that the greens will play phenomenal basketball from now on.
In detail, what Dimitris Giannakopoulos wrote:
"Congratulations, Aman Aman. The first part of the season seems a long way off. We knew it was impossible to build a team with so many serious injuries, and with bad luck since every center we brought in got injured. I remember a game where all four centers were out.
This gave the media blood, to criticize us immorally. They even counted minutes played to create internal issues. Others went with the mainstream wave, because they have no idea about teams and basketball.
At some point, all this was communicated as a "bomb ready to explode".
We knew what was coming and never felt insecure.
Valencia plays the best basketball in Europe today. Panathinaikos is the dominant force in European basketball and the team that will finish the season playing basketball that we will not have seen before. The STARS know when to shine. Step by step."
