Hanga on Sphairopoulos: “He has led big organizations, he has a lot of respect from the players”

In the era… Yannis Sfeiropoulou has been here for a few days now Red Starwho has a very strong test ahead of him, the Belgrade derby against They were partisans (26/10, 19:30).

In view of this confrontation, Mr Adam Hanga he spoke about his (short) collaboration with the Greek coach, for whom he emphasized that he is the recipient of great respect from the players.

His statements in detail:

“We are all very excited about the upcoming game, we are preparing for it, especially since we have two consecutive derbies with Partizan. Both games are very important for us, but our situation is complicated, having gone through changes in the last few days. Now we are trying to adapt to the new coach and the new system, we have a little time for that and not much time for some big changes. Now we are working on some things in defense and attack, I hope we win.”

For Sfeiropoulos: “I’ve had many coaches in my career and each one is different. Everyone has a different character and requirements. The most important thing for coaches is to aim for the maximum in defense and attack. We are still together for a few days, but we know that this is a coach who has played in the Euroleague final twice, coached at the highest European level and led big organisations. He has a lot of respect from the players. We haven’t had a lot of time together, not a lot of changes, you won’t see a different team. There is an idea, he will try to be clever and we will go step by step, every day we will change something. Every day there will be some changes, practically we did two training sessions together, there will be one more before the game.”

For Partizan: “Partizan lost the last game in the ABA league and will have extra motivation for the victory. In the Euroleague they are not as good as expected. That’s why this game will be very important for us, especially after three consecutive defeats in the Euroleague. We know how hard it is to come back when you find yourself at the bottom of the rankings. We will play the game as if it were a final.”
