Departs for Abu Dhabi National team basketball, in order to go through the last stage of her preparation in view of the World Cup.
Just before our delegation boarded the plane, the federal technician, Dimitris Itoudisreferred to the elements that the National Team should improve, in the two upcoming friendlies with Jordan and the USA, while he did not fail to mention the resounding absence of Yannis Antekunbo.
Analytically:
“Happy birthday to everyone for this great celebration. I am satisfied with the appetite, concentration and levels of self-sacrifice shown by the team in preparation. The national team is going to another World Cup and this is a success for them and the federation. We are dealing with the competition as the procedure dictates, we have three final games. We are looking at the first game against Jordan, but first we have the friendly in Abu Dhabi.
In the four friendlies we saw elements of our competitive profile, we want to get better chemistry in defense and attack, but also to be more accurate. We want to be healthy, unfortunately two athletes will have to go back before the World Cup, although as I have pointed out it could be that in these major competitions 14 players are available and 12 are selected for each match. We want to improve game by game, we know who we are and we want to show it.”
In a question about the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo he said: “We didn’t prepare by having Giannis Antetokounmpo. Unfortunately, the timing determined that Giannis would not make it, there were few hopes. We hope that he will be healthy and contribute to the national team again in the future”.
