Apollon Smyrnis is already in Istanbul since Friday afternoon, so that on Saturday at 19:30 they can defend the 9-5 of the first match in Athens against Galatasaray and qualify for the semi-finals of the Men’s Polo Challenge Cup.
Nikos Deligiannis wanted to send his message to the people of Turkey and Syria who were affected by the deadly earthquakes: “Our thoughts are with the victims of the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria. The people there are having a very difficult time and we owe it to them that our thoughts and prayers are with them and that the whole world unites to give them a very big help so that they can recover from all this, if they can, especially in the mental part, as quickly as possible”.
As for the racing? “On the other hand, there is a sporting event, a sporting obligation on Saturday. A strong game against Galatasaray. We have the lead of the first game, but we are not stopping there. We are going for a game once and for all, we are going to win and, together with the victory, to get the qualification. It’s all we’re looking at and all we’re preparing for.”
The mission of the “light brigade” is made up of: Stefanos Galanopoulos, Alexandros Alamanos, Nikola Bogdanovich, Konstantinos Mokkas, Angelos Goniotakis, Michalis Diplaros, Dionysis Braimis, Konstantinos Chondrokoukis, Lazar Vitskovits, Nikos Gardikas (Colakis), Anastasosis Myrlis, Manlissilos Vassilis Kavusanos, Iason Tourkomeni
