celebrating for winning the championship photo 19/04/97 |
ARIS coach, Kostas Haritonidis, full of excitement for the great success, was little bit over-reacting : "This championship was a dream of ...thousand years. For a long time we fought under conditions that definitely weren't the best. Today Salonica is celebrating along to those crazy ARIS fans !"...
The super-star, Ljubomir Ganev, when ended the game with a personal ace-point, said to the assistant coach of the team (who always tired him in practice!) : "I took the title and without training !"... After that, he said that Salonica was thirsty for this title : "I'm very happy. I dedicate this title to Thessaloniki and our ARIS fans. This championship title should stay in Salonica".
From the losers' side, no one was eager to talk. Orestiada's coach, Zoran Gaets was dissapointed: "The team didn't role from the start. In such cases, things are pretty difficult. The fact that we moved a lot and made long trips didn't help".
And the Thracian team's leader, Nikos Samaras, who was so close to winning the title for the first time in his career, was undecided for staying in the team : "If we hadn't made some mistakes withing the regular season, we would have managed to gain the title. I don't know if I will play for Orestiada next year".
