-the presence of Lefteris ΜποχωÏίδη in the game with the Maccabi Tel Aviv: “The ΛευτεÏάκης played with me at the age of 17.5 years on Mars. He has great talent, loves basketball, has an appetite for work, and when I asked some people of Panathinaikos argued in this transcription. If he has overcome his injury, every day will be better. Fits the profile of Panathinaikos, because unique classic point guard the Καλάθη, is the only point guard. Can play even better, and I’m sure in the future I will do it. If Panathinaikos will take another guard is in the hand of don Pascual”.

-this year’s Olympic: “Olympic convinces me more and is emerging as a leading Panathinaikos to go far in Euroleague. The basic structure is the same as that of the great successes. When you have this yeast add what you need. Has keep and strangers, as the ΛοτζÎσκι, and has done good choices of foreign, such as the Birch. Of course, there’s the natural leader, the gulf of mexico, which adapts depending on the opponent. All the children have accepted their role”.
