He fought it, but in the end he left the home of Lietkambelis defeated for the 2nd matchday of the Eurocup o Marsby George Sigalas (he took over as first coach in the last minutes of the match due to Kastritis’ suspension) to stand on the balance that was lost after the injury of Blumbergs and to emphasize that the team needs reinforcement.
In detail what he said:
“When you lose your balance as a team, and I’m talking about Bloomberg’s injury, things are difficult and the situation is different. We also had the absence of Bates and along with a few other elements in the game, we just didn’t get it done.
For 3-4 minutes we were not in the spirit of the match, but then we found our function and our philosophy in defense. The kids tried hard. We did some good things in the game, but we are human… After every game we look at our mistakes to improve. Especially tonight we will see the match again to change some things. We will try to play as Aris in the next games as well, so that we can present a better image”.
For the arbitration: “Referees are human and mistakes are in the game. We tried despite the problems. Lietkampelis is a very good team”.
For the continuation and possible strengthening of the roster: “All I have in mind, like the coach, is that we need players. Now we also need it because of the Bloombergs. We need to fill the Bates void. We are waiting for Persedis in the next match. The games with Gran Canaria and Olympiakos helped to gauge our strength. Now we have games in front of us which we can win and keep our heads up”.
