Zenit’s sports director gave a full interview to iz.ru, Manos Papadopoulos.
The former General Manager of Panathinaikos described Hezonia as a super player, while he mentioned that Olympiakos made excellent transfers.
In detail what he stated:
– For the 2nd season of Zenit in the Euroleague: “A lot has changed since I came to the team. Everyone who works at the club and the fans have understood how difficult it is to participate in the Euroleague. “Together we are moving on this path.”
– For the Euroleague difficulties due to coronavirus: “There are many difficulties. These situations make people think more and find the right solutions. Everyone has realized how important the game is and how much the fans need it on the stands. “Some people do not understand how difficult it is to organize games in these conditions.”
– For the most important transfers of this year’s Euroleague: “Many teams have great players. Fenerbahce and Olympiacos did an excellent job in the transfer window. Real and Milan signed players with tremendous prospects, such as Dinos Mitoglou. I think most teams did a good job. “Villeurbanne took Ocombo and Jones, who score 25 points in several matches.”
– For Unix and Monaco: “I know Unix better. He built a tough team with good players. Everyone knows the potential of Hezonia. He is a super player. Monaco took James, who is one of the best performers in the Euroleague in recent years. A big name in Europe. Both teams have a good roster, so they have chances for a remarkable course “.
– For the possibility of increasing the Euroleague teams: “It’s something that needs to be discussed systematically in a calm atmosphere. I’m not sure it will be easy to grow teams. Everything depends on the program of the championships and the national teams. The point is to do the best for basketball. If you participate in the Euroleague, then you will have a difficult schedule with 2 or 3 games a week. It is difficult to give so many matches at this level. The teams that have the most stars in their roster, have a clear advantage “.
