Hrouban: “No one thinks of going to see Athens – Greeks are passionate about basketball”

by

Hellas and Czech republic duel in SEF in the first match of the qualifiers for EuroBasket 2025, with Voytek Hruban to mention in the statements he gave that his team it’s not the favoritebut many times this has proven to work best for them.

We will not be favorites in Greece. On the other hand, it has been proven many times that this role is good for us. Maybe it will be good for us after all. Certainly none of us are thinking of going there just to play and see Athens. We want to give ourselves a chance to succeed there. And we feel like we can play with anybody with the lineup we have.

I expect stormy atmosphere in Europe. Greeks are passionate about basketball and come to the court to shout. So the atmosphere will be great. It’s always better to play in a stadium full of people.

Eleven or twelve EuroLeague players is nothing to fear. We believe in ourselves. We know this team can do something. Especially once Satoransky plays we can be competitive with anyone in a match. Of course, we don’t expect it to be an easy match and that we should dominate there, but it’s certainly not like we’re going there just to watch. We just want to win and we know it is within our power“, were, characteristically, the words of its 34-year-old forward Sole.
