In detail, the statements of Dinos Mitoglou to Christos Robolis:
On his dynamic comeback after two summers of misfortune: “The past is in the past, all we can do is learn and it makes us stronger. Difficulties are to be overcome, I have lived with my team a special experience, winning two awesome trophies, but at the moment we are in the National team. We are all happy, we must become one, conquer our goals here too and succeed in making Greece proud».
On whether the presence of Spanoulis guarantees this unity in the National Team: “Certainly, he is a man with personality and a thirst to deliver because he is new to the field as a coach. His experiences cannot be compared, he is a winning personality and has a winning mentality. From the first day we met we have set our bar and goals high, with hard work I believe and with determination we can achieve the goals. Our team has shown that we are very complete and can achieve anything».
On whether a success with the National Team is missing: “That’s exactly what we were saying. The successes with your team are very good, but nothing compares to representing your country and winning a medal with the National Team. Trust us, we will try our best to win a medal».
First, of course, let’s go to the Olympic Games after 16 years: “The first step is a fight-by-fight mentality. The goal in the first place should be to get to the Olympics, starting with the pre-Olympics. We aim there, our mind is there and if we achieve our first goal then we will set the second as well».
On his collaboration with Giannis Antetokounmpo: “We’ve been training together, I’m really looking forward to playing with him. I think I can read his game, we all know the way Giannis plays and moves, so I will adapt my game to him».
In 1987, the flowering of Greek basketball in SEF began. Do you think it can be a starting point in an also full stadium to make another big success and more to come in the future? “Of course I believe so and that is our goal. I wasn’t born but I’ve seen all the videos, it gives you chills when you see this team. The goal is to leave something special to the new generations of children, to leave our legacy and as I said to make our country proud because at the end we have a medal with the National Team».
For fatigue that doesn’t matter: “I had some time to rest, it’s also a matter of management. If I want or need time to rest I will talk to the coach, no problem”.
