Vassilis Spanoulis emphasized that he is not upset and disappointed about Peristeri’s defeat against Olympiakos, he believes that they had control in the 40′ against one of the best teams in Europe and that they gave their soul and that appearance counts more and not the result several times, while praising the performance of the young Zougris.
Analytically: “Many here would expect me to be broken, upset, but I am smiling, because I am very proud of my team. Proud of the way we played. I think we played an excellent 40′ game. We were in control of the game. It is not easy to play against Olympiakos, at the moment they are the best team in Europe, the standings in the Euroleague show it.
We are talking about disproportionate sizes in all areas, children came in with soul, they were not afraid at any point of the game, they respected Olympiakos and its players, but they were not afraid of them. We showed this on the field as well. For me, the most important thing is the way you fight. For me, it’s the journey, not the destination.
Even a game is about a journey and a destination. It’s the way you fight. When you compete properly and when you play proper basketball, I believe that the result, sooner or later, will come. I don’t believe in luck and bad luck, in this nonsense, I believe in hard work and how you prepare a game. It is difficult to play against the bodies of Olympiakos, they have excellent players and are in good momentum. Congratulations to Olympiakos for the victory. In the end, Olympiacos won, that’s how life is, let’s move on…”.
For Zougris, he said: “The most important thing is to put the children in when they are worked and ready. You shouldn’t mess with kids when they’re not ready and expose them. They have to go through the process of work, attrition and then be sure to play. All the children are working properly, Zougris and Phytros are working excellently. They entered a difficult game and coped, but they also helped our team a lot.
Let’s focus on the next game, we shouldn’t ‘burn’ these guys either, don’t make them the next Hynes and Papanikolaou, let’s keep a low profile. They have a lot of uphill and hard work to do and, if they continue like this, they will be rewarded. Also, in the 12th we had two other children, Stavrakopoulos and Bilalis”.
