“Panathinaikos” could meet with “Olympiakos” of Piraeus within the remaining of the Euroleague, which might lead to a Greek derby happening on the largest stage.
Would a Lithuanian need such a remaining?

– On Friday, you talked about controlling your feelings, how did you handle to regulate them ultimately?
– If you play at six o’clock, every part goes by shortly. In fact, everybody felt excited, nervous. That is regular. In the event you do not feel this, it’s best to hold up your sneakers.
“You are not shaking your knuckles.” Was there any additional pleasure on the pitch right this moment?
– He’s at all times there earlier than the match. I do not know how one can evaluate right here… if you happen to go to provide your presentation, you continue to get a bit of nervous (smiles – ed.). However once you go, you try this on daily basis, you attempt to use the work you’ve got carried out for 18 years.
– Did the pre-match riots throw you off monitor?
– I do not wish to repeat myself, however apparently… you do not wish to blame somebody when you do not have data. It is attention-grabbing when semi-finals and such issues occur… then there aren’t any balls (on the courtroom).
