With his… aura Vasilis Spanoulis and the Dino Mitoglou, Costa Papanikolaou and Thomas Walkup in the role of “three bodyguards”, h Hellas entered the EuroBasket 2025 qualifiers and its new era with the right hand, defeating the Czech Republic 72-64.
Panathinaikos forward AKTOR, who set a career record with the “blue and white” with 22 points, spoke after the match about his relationship with the National team and how he envisions it.
What he said in detail:
“Congratulations to all the children. We had very few days of preparation, we worked as much as we can with the data of all the players and with the fatigue that exists. We did a great job and we are happy to start with a win. We are a new team, the coach is new, new philosophy and you can’t build a team that fast. I think we settled down after the first five minutes and got a good result.
The National Team must be a tough team, never give up and make whoever wears the jersey proud. This is what coach Spanoulis told us. I wish the coach a good start. He is a big personality, we know what kind of player he was and now he is taking these steps.
The National team is a huge honor and the top level. It is still the beginning, we have a very good team and we can have different protagonists every time, and others can come forward. Many players are also missing. Let’s all be healthy and in the summer we’ll have a very good team.”
