Antonis Fotsis characterized as "important" the game against Red Star (6/12, 21.30). Fotsis clarified that he and his teammates must play hard in order to get the win.
"It's an important game against a youthful team. We play at home and we'll have the fans on our side. We must perform well and be tough. Red Star plays with passion and has rhythm in its game. We must match these factors and to enforce our game. About Nikos Pappas' injury. It's not something you can control. It's the way sports are. We have to get over it and all the others to give our best in order to win".
Lasme: "I will be here!"
Stephane Lasme stated: "I will be here to help as much as possible, although I have only practiced twice and I am not 100% ready. I don't want to say that Red Star is a bad team, but we are the ones who make mistakes and we have to correct them. We'll have our fans' help, which is something really important for us. It's our most constant player. But we have to give everything to win the game. We will miss Nikos Pappas. He got unlucky. But this is why Panathinaikos is a big team. We have the players to cover for his absence".
