THE Lefteris Bohorides and Dimitris Moraitis they are counting down the hours until the World Cup begins. The first practice of the National team at the Mall of Asia Arena, which will host its matches in the tournament, increased the impatience of the internationals.
“We are all happy to be here. From the first day of training we have all been looking forward to this moment, to compete with the best and see what we can achieve“, said Lefteris Bohorides and added: “We have improved a lot since the first day of preparation. Every training session we are getting better and I believe that when the competition starts we will be ready. We know very well that in this competition every match is a final and we don’t say this just to say it, but it is true. We want to give our best to get the first win in the match against Jordan. Of course we have shortcomings, we are missing very good players, but those of us who are here want to fight. But there is no point in saying it, we have to show it on the pitch. The best mindset for us is to look at each game in front of us and not below».
As for the fact that last year he didn’t make the EuroBasket 12 at the last minute, but this year he made it, he said:Last year the feeling was the worst for me. Getting to the end, waiting to experience the event and finally watching it on TV was something difficult. That’s why I’m very happy to be here this year with the team and I really want to live every moment».
On his part, Mr Dimitris Moraitis write down: “We are very happy to be here and can’t wait for the World Cup to start. We have really good chemistry with the guys and we bond with each other. We have improved many things, we are getting better every day, but we definitely still need work in some areas. Our goal is only the match against Jordan. I don’t want to talk about the absences, what happened… happened. We want our asset to be defense and we have to work on that, because in the friendlies with USA and Germany we conceded a lot of points in defensive transition. I hope we achieve something good. I don’t want to say big words, but I really believe in our National Team and I think we can achieve something good. We deserve it!».
