Dimitris Itoudis considers a change in the format of the Euroleague necessary. The coach of CSKA considers that it is time to change the system of the event. As for the victory over Panathinaikos, he attributed the image of the hosts to inaction, while he announced developments for the interest of Ethniki to hire him, repeating that it is his wish.
He spoke in detail about:
-the victory over Panathinaikos: “Initially, I hope the coronavirus will disappear and we will return to our normalcy. We were a better team today. Panathinaikos did not have a rhythm due to inaction. We turned the ball well after the bad start and we had a good creation and we reached the victory “.
-the good trainings mentioned by the CSKA players that they did: “It’s important that the players say that. It is one thing for journalists and coaches and other players to say that. After the postponement with Barcelona we had time for rest and training. We worked and tried to find a rhythm. We had time to prepare for Panathinaikos “.
-the Euroleague rormat: “I believe that all the teams pay the price of absences due to the coronavirus, or due to injuries. We are in a situation that we have to manage. We have to find chemistry and become a team. Even the teams that are high in the standings have got matches in the details. The format must be changed. There are many teams that stay out of the playoffs, 10 out of 18. In the NBA they are different for example. There is also the issue of distances. The players play finals and there are no easy matches “.
-the construction of CSKA: “It is different to build a team in the summer. To see how the team plays, to eat its “cuffs” and to see if it can withstand. You do not see this if there is pressure to win. Now players are called to pay attention to everything. In the diet, in everyday life. For example, we chose to stay in Athens so that the players have 6-7 extra hours of rest “.
-the National: “Messrs. Liolios and Vatutin have discussed and I believe that in a short time we will have a result. My wish remains the same for the National “.
