“I’m excited and a bit impatient for tomorrow’s game. It is an honor and a pride to wear these colors, this shirt, there are many emotions. I’ve been waiting a long time for this. This week has been very big for the team and their preparation and I am very focused to be able to help“, he initially said and was then asked about his absence Thomas Walkup and his own first appearance on the floor:
“Anyone who watches Thomas knows that he is not selfish as a player, that he can lead a team. As a player, he showed it two days ago in the match against the Czech Republic. I want to be myself and do similar things. Coach Spanoulis leads us in the right direction with his passion and energy. I want to do what the team asks of me and leave everything on the floor”, while at the end he was asked about the if he will dedicate the victory and to his mother, who was looking forward to this day, he answered:
“My mother from the day I graduated from college did everything she could to get the passport and she cried the day it became a reality. My brother and I want to represent the country in the best possible way whenever we get the chance“, were, characteristically, his words Mitro Long.
