The National Team trained on Easter Tuesday at the Evelpidon School Swimming Pool. The only absentee was the injured Eleftheria Pleuritou, who spoke about the specific match. “Unfortunately, I will be a spectator again. A rare phenomenon. It has never happened to me as many years as I have played in the National team, especially in the Rotterdam matches. I couldn’t stand it.
I wish the girls good luck, I believe in the team, I know it will do well, it has prospects, we want to be present in every big event. The qualification is quite close, as long as the girls show their best selves. And they will.”
Alexia Kamenou emphasized that: “We want to show an improved image from that of the Netherlands. There are the problems with the injuries, the girls in the team are very focused, they have worked hard and what I ask is that they show their best selves. And they will.
We are fighting to qualify as the Super Final will be a very good rehearsal ahead of the World Championship. I think we will succeed in the end”.
The leader Margarita Pleuritou emphasized that: “Sure, we must be more composed in relation to the games in the Netherlands. To have a clearer mind, better choices, not to “get lost” too easily, as it is a period of preparation and every girl feels more pressure. Let’s put everything aside, give our best and qualify for the final phase.”
