Spanulis: Aris Crushes Olympiacos, Between Europe's Two Big Teams

Aris beat Olympiacos by a convincing margin at the Nick Galis Hall. Having already beaten Panathinaikos, the team showed its rising strength once again with this game. Vasilis Spanulis, who leads the team, said his players played good basketball on both ends of the court for 40 minutes.

Spanulis reminded that his team is still being rebuilt and said that beating two big rivals in such a short time is not easy. The head coach also noted that this was his fourth consecutive win, and the first in Greece, against Olympiacos. He also thanked the fans for their support in the arena.

Speaking about Aris's results against AEK, Panathinaikos and Olympiacos, Spanulis pointed to the team's four-month history. He said he has been in charge since September and has been working with the team for 2.5 months. He argued that these results show they are on the right track.

The head coach said the team has a modern style of play, tries to be effective both in attack and defense, and needs to work on some automatisms and mistakes. Spanulis said there is still a lot of work to do to reach their goals. He said he finds it important that the fans chant his name, but that all the success belongs to his players.
