Saras who received a warm welcome by the fans of Panathinaikos when he entered the arena said: “I love Panathinaikos, I love the fans and I hope that they will not hold against me what I have to say. The referees decided the game. I love Panathinaikos, I love the organization, but I also represent another big organization and I have to say that”.
Jasikevicius was asked if there was a specific play for which he has complains and his answer was the following: “Which one of how many? You really ask this question? Wow…”
Coach Xavi Pascual added: “We are happy with the win. When we got a 20 points advantage, we lost our energy and we lost our concentration. We had foul-troubles. Zalgiris came back into the game and everything was difficult for us”.
Speaking about Jasikevicius comments Pascual said: “It’s my philosophy to not speak about the refs. I had the chance to do it in previous games and I didn’t. I could also mention some plays in the game. When you are the coach of Panathinaikos you just have to fight and do your best for the fans and the club. I will try not to change that”. Pascual was also asked about the possible transfer of Panathinaikos but he denied to comment by joking: “I don’t know how many players we have already signed during the season. I don’t and I will not speak about that”.
