With complete success, she completed her presence in these “windows” as well National teamaccording to what was stated by Sotiris Manolopoulosafter the loss (67-57) to Latvia.
In fact, the federal coach thanked all the internationals who participated in the process, saying that several young people seized the opportunity that was given to them.
What Sotiris Manolopoulos said in detail to Nova’s camera:
“I am very proud of all the children who were on this qualifying journey, which ended successfully. I want to thank all the children who were at the windows and participated in this effort. I also want to say a huge thank you to my colleagues and management. Everyone made a huge effort, everyone is of a high standard and I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart.
The windows are very difficult and demanding, you don’t know what dawns on you and if you don’t experience it you can’t understand it. It was a mission, we succeeded 100%, we made very big victories like inside Turkey. The match against Turkey was the most difficult thing I have done in training. That victory determined the qualification to a very large extent. We had guys who came on the same day and played giving their best. Nothing happens if the children do not give their soul for the national team. For that I thank them and I am proud of them.
When there is the will to help the National Team, both for the players and for the clubs, you can achieve something so difficult. And for that I want to thank both the players and their teams. Maybe now we had the youngest team and the lads seized the opportunity. We end on a bitter note, we had our chances to beat Latvia, but the most important thing is that we didn’t give up until the end. We had some open shots that today, unlike Friday, we didn’t make.
I don’t want to start talking about the new players. We must help them, but they must also help themselves. To work hard and be ready when the opportunity comes to seize it».
