THE National Our team started preparing for the games with Great Britain and Belarus for the World Cup qualifiers.
With statements by o Harris Giannopoulos referred to the goal of the National, but also to his new role as leader of this team. At the same time, he stood in the absence of Sotiris Manolopoulos.
The statements of Harry Giannopoulos in detail:
For the goal of the National Team: “The goal is to continue the work we have done in recent years, to continue the good performances and victories, so that the National Team is in another final phase and can claim a medal and the best it can.”
About how he feels as a leader: “I do not know what it is like to tell you the truth. I was told yesterday, I have not had time to consolidate it yet. This team does not need a leader. We have played so many games, in so many windows, we have played with the small national teams, we know each other so well that there does not need to be one who will lead the way. We are all equal and we have the same role and the same purpose “.
For the absence of Sotiris Manolopoulos: “The change of coach does not affect us much, because we are not unfamiliar with coach Sotiris. We know him and he knows most of us. So I think if he can come to the second race in Thessaloniki, it will be as if nothing has changed. The same is true with Savvas as the first coach. He is the first coach for so many years or he has played second at a high level and the communication that exists is at 100% “.
For Great Britain, who was also the first opponent in windows for the Men’s National: “Things are very different now compared to that first game. We did not know what to expect, it was something new, so we were all somewhat lost, it was uncharted water. Now it is different, we have played in so many windows and qualifiers, so we are all better prepared. However, Britain has not changed much. They are almost the same team they were four years ago. He has a game in the racket, he has athletic players, they do not threaten so much from the outside, but he is good in the transition game “.
