With a win and even inside the packed OAKA on the Panathinaikos AKTORbegan his journey to the technical leadership of Monaco o Vassilis Spanoulis.
The Greek coach of the Monegasques and our national team was mentioned after the end of the match on whether he feels pressure in his new venture in coaching, while he also spoke about the points that decided tonight’s match.
“I am very pleased. We played exactly the basketball I want us to play. We definitely have room for improvement. We had 26 assists. We had our best player smashing the ball brilliantly in the traps. Mike (aka James) played one of his most mature games. We had players who were ready to attack and distribute the ball. We had some problems in defense, but we will improve in this area as well. When Panathinaikos went forward we had the peace of mind to distribute the ball.
I have no pressure. With all the humility that distinguishes me, I feel no pressure. Those who have nothing to eat feel the pressure. Those who do not have to pay for their children’s milk are under pressure. Pressure because I’m a coach or when I was a player? This is not pressure. It’s a blessing.
The glass floor was strange at first for the players, but it is something innovative, something nice. And for the world it is very nice. I knew that at some point I would be in the Euroleague, that’s why I started coaching. I just wanted to do it in my own way, with the right steps and develop, just like I started basketball. Everything is progressing properly and smoothly.
I happened to start with the games against Panathinaikos and Olympiakos. I wish I could come back to Greece to see the family, but we are playing in Monaco with Olympiakos. Let’s go step by step, let’s not be lazy.”
