Milonas ready for Guasguas. Neosmyrniotes face the Spanish team at 21:00 in Tenerife in the first match between them for the “16” of the CEV Cup men’s volleyball and they want a good result for next week’s rematch at “Croisos Persis”.
The team from New Smyrna started their journey to the third largest island of the Canary Islands early on Tuesday and, after a three-hour wait in Madrid, landed in Las Palmas at 19:00.
Despite the long journey, Sakis Psarras, his colleagues and the volleyball players of the “black and green” went directly to the “Centro Insular de Deportes” after the hotel for training.
Milonas is the second Greek team that Guasguas faces this season, as they faced Olympiakos in the second qualifying round of the Champions League.
“We are happy and excited to be in this stadium with a team playing in the Champions League. The journey and praise for Milos remains. Tomorrow we have a difficult game, but whether we win or not, the qualification is decided in the second games”, initially commented Sakis Psarras, and then referred to the elements that need attention against the Spaniards.
“Las Palmas is a team that has a good reception and, when they find their reception, they play very quickly with the centrals, but also on the edges. We’ll try to spoil her reception so they go to a high game that she’s not that good at.
They are a team that plays at a very high level, they compete with two passers, we don’t know which of the two will play and that makes it more difficult for us to “read” them.
And he remembered: “I have come here again with Olympiakos. it was a great trip and great experience. We had won 3-2 sets in a difficult game, then Thanos Michalopoulos was playing in Gran Canaria, while Vassilis Minoudis was with me, who is the manager of the Milona team, we remember this game with great pleasure”.
For his part, Dimosthenis Linardos emphasized that: “Difficult exit for our team. The journey was arduous, but we will think of this as our “weapon”. Let’s persevere and face Las Palmas and look them in the eye. With concentration, commitment to the plan and with the necessary energy to take the first and decisive step towards qualifying for the next phase”.
