The sufferings of the National Polo began

The first part of the National Polo training camp will last until December 30, while a second camp will follow, January 2-5.

The federal coach, Thodoris Vlachos, spoke with his associates and welcomed them with the international players, while at the same time they did the first reconnaissance training in the pool.

Thodoris Vlachos stated that: “We have the opportunity, during the holidays, to make a big call to see where we are, to reunite with the children who are abroad and we do not have the opportunity to see them often. We are coming from a great success the year is ending, but we must now move on, to take the next step.

We have two big international events in the new year, the World European Championship and we will get there through the World League, but also the camps we will do. We want to get as ready as possible to claim the highest position we can in these events as well.

This is what we always do. Against the background, of course, the Olympic Games in Paris, but, until then, there are many obligations, for which we have to concentrate and finally go with the best possible team in Paris.

I think our representative band was worthily awarded as the top team of the year by PSAT. It’s time to have the recognition and attention of the world. These guys deserve it. Reputation comes after a lot of effort. The work that has been done in water polo stands out, not only at the level of men, but also in the younger age categories.

With effort and seriousness to remain consistent and humble to continue to stay on the ‘trajectory’ of these successes “.

Giannis Foundoulis said: “The year that is ending was the most successful in the history of the National team. However, as much as we do not want this, we must leave it behind. New challenges are coming, World Championship and European. What we have achieved, we want to continue. For this, we will do everything we can to be in the top places in the next big events “.

The 22 who have been invited by the federal coach to the camp are: Giannis Foundoulis, Dinos Genidounias, Manos Zerdevas, George Dervisis, Costas Gouvis, Christodoulos Kolombos (Olympiacos), Costas Giouvetsis, Panagiotos Szombas Tzotgis Tzombas Marios Kapotsis (NE Vouliagmenis), Manolis Solanakis, Stefanos Galanopoulos (Apollon Smyrnis), Giannis Kechalaris (PAOK), Takis Dimou (Panionios), Nikos Mitrakis (AO Paleou Falirou), Angelos Vlagopanos A Kanakakis, Costas Kakkaris (Yug Dubrovnik), Dimitris Nikolaidis (Spandau Berlin)
