The Prime Minister of the country, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, speaking to the citizens of Thessaloniki, expressed the opinion that PAOK deserves to win the championship.
Kyriakos Mitsotakis is in Thessaloniki and after speaking at an event about a campaign against school bullying, at the 3rd Gymnasium of Polichni, with the coordinator of the Deputy Minister of Education Zetta Makris, he had a meeting with citizens in Polichni.
In his conversation with the citizens, the Prime Minister of Greece expressed his belief that PAOK will be crowned champion of Greece this season. “PAOK deserves the championship. He deserves it, especially after the 2-2 draw,” Kyriakos Mitsotakis said specifically.
The vice-president of Olympiakos, Alexis Kougias, spoke on the web show “The hour of salvation” and commented on the refereeing between AEK – PAOK and Aris Panathinaikos.
We remind you that although PAOK found themselves behind in the score with 2-0 in the derby with AEK at “OPAP Arena” last Sunday, they made an incredible comeback, drew 2-2 and remained at the top of the standings. The “Double Head of the North” is at +1 from AEK, +2 from Panathinaikos and +4 from Olympiakos.
Mitsotakis: “Basketball is more… ahead of football – Panathinaikos and Olympiacos can go to the Final 4”
Kyriakos Mitsotakis, found himself a few days ago in the studio of SKAI as a guest of the show “Mismatches” with Yiannis Dsounos and Christos Koutras.
“I want to emphasize that the interventions we have made, the drastic closure of the stadiums, the automated penalties, which are imposed without “buts and mes” and without asterisks, so far, I emphasize this, so far seem to have produced positive results,” said Kyriakos Mitsotakis, considering that “it is sad for us as fans to see empty stadiums, but as a Government we can express our satisfaction for the fact that it seems that, at least in football, we are in the right direction”.
On the other hand, in basketball as a country “we have gone much further and we see images both in the Greek league and in the EuroLeague with many young children on the field, together with their families. This also happened in the final of the Basketball Cup with great success. This is how we want professional sports. I also believe in football. As long as everyone wants it. And when I refer to everyone, I also refer to the factors of the teams”, he noted to give his mark.
And when the hosts, in order to lighten the mood and stick to basketball, asked him for an estimate for the EuroLeague, Mitsotakis concluded: “They can both go to the Final Four. May they succeed and the best lift the cup.”
