THE Giannis Athenaiou returned to action on his behalf Panerythraikou and on Saturday he will make his debut in the match against Megarida for the 13th game of the Elite League Errikos Dunan.

“My first days in the team I can say, that they are very positive. It is a team, consisting mainly of young people, who have an appetite for work and great motivation. This is something that I really like, as I, too, with my experience will try to help them on and off the field. I’m looking forward to my debut as I have enough time to compete in an official game and it’s something I’m excited about and have been waiting for for a long time“, emphasized the 35-year-old guard and added:

“I followed the team on weekends, as well as the Elite League in general and I can say that it is now a particularly interesting league, as the differences between the teams are small and for this reason no one can know in advance the results, such as it mainly happens in the Basketball League. Our team may have been a little behind due to some losses, which came at the end and were decided in the shootout, but as the standings show, the differences are small and one or two wins can completely change you. NEM is a team that has been on pace lately and everyone seems to have found their roles in the team, which is why they are in second place in the standings. We, after the various additions and subtractions, will try to become a team as quickly as possible and at the same time this must be combined with victories, especially when it comes to home games. We want to close the first half of the season in the best possible way».
