Larentzakis: “I am deeply shocked by what happened, sport unites not kills”

THE Olympic is hosted tomorrow in Thessaloniki and in “Alexandrio” by Marsfor the postponed match of the 11th game of the Stoiximan Basket League.

Through the personal blog he maintains in ESAKE, the Giannoulis Larentzakisreferred to the game with the “yellow-blacks”, but also to the murder of his friend Aris, Alki Kampanoustating that he is deeply shocked by what happened.

Details of what Giannoulis Larentzakis said:



“I could not start from anything other than the news that shocked the whole of Greece. I am referring to the murder of Alkis, a 19-year-old child whose life was “cut” prematurely and unnecessarily.

I refuse to accept that the hand of the perpetrators “triggered” the fact that Alkis was a fan of an opposing team. Sport unites, not kills. Or so it should be …

I am deeply shocked by what happened and beyond my sincere condolences to Alkis’s family, I want to express the wish that something similar never happens again. All of us, first of all the State, but also all of us who are in the field of sports, must “work” in this direction.

As you can see, after that, everything else comes second. That is why I will be brief when it comes to racing …

For health reasons I could not strengthen my team’s effort in the games against Real and Basconia. I am, however, happy that in both games we were much improved and that against the Basques we got the valuable victory.

In front of us we have the match with Aris in Thessaloniki, in which I will also give the “present”. It is a match that after the murder of Alkis acquires another, special emotional significance. As for the “purely” competitive part, we must be focused for forty minutes to get the double. As I have said before, there are no easy matches “.
