The Greek guard referred to, among others, limited participation time of this season, stressing that it may not be pleasant, however, the team is above everyone and everything!

The statements of Giannoulis Larentzakis in detail:



For the match against Baskonia: “We want to continue in this momentum, we currently have a very good mentality, we are working well, we have got the results we want and I believe that tomorrow we will show the right face and the seriousness and energy required for the match.”

On his limited role in the EuroLeague this year: “I’m trying to work every day, stay at a good pace and level so that when needed I can help. It’s certainly not the most pleasant, but the team is above all and whenever I’m asked, I have to be ready to help too.”

As for players having to choose between club and national team: “There’s been a lot of talk about this, I think it’s not right that a player doesn’t play either in one or the other game. At some point a solution must be found, because it’s something nice for all the players to play, all the games, those who can, when there are no issues of injuries and to help both the teams and the Nationals”.
