In the mission of National Greece, for the Games in the Czech Republic and with the Netherlands in Patras, returned John Papapetrouwho said happy which is again available for the “blue whites”.
International Forward emphasized that it is completely different the feeling of fighting for your countrywhile stressing that it is important that the representative complex gives The “present” in every major eventsuch as the recent Olympic Games and the upcoming Eurobasket.
In detail what Ioannis Papapetrou said during the Media Day of National
For his return to National Greece, as he did not compete with the representative band both in the pre -Olympic tournament and in the Paris Olympics: “It is very nice the feeling I am here again, after the past year that I could not be. I am very happy and we have two very important games ahead of us and we have to focus on playing good basketball and getting the results we need.
Is there a better time than the jersey of your country and listening to the national anthem and representing the whole country? It’s the whole world from behind. The feeling is completely different. It has nothing to do with pay, contracts and has to do with the heart, the soul and love for the country”
For the climate in the “blue whites” after the “centuries” final in the Greek Cup: “Of course. The cup is gone. Only the present is important. All the kids who are here and all the players who make up the national team are in our character, as humans besides basketball athletes, we have a good relationship between us, we have love and we are here for a common purpose and above any team or team National. We have a very nice climate and that comes out”
For the national preparedness for the next two matches: “There is definitely motivation and we are concentrated. There is one must and that gives us one more and one pressure. As it was, when you represent your country, whether we had qualified or not qualified, these are very special games. Anyone who sacrifices time from his vacation or his days of rest does it with his soul.
Nothing is taken for granted. Obviously that we are in all the big events, this in itself means something. Beyond that, in the knockout phases of the events with a victory you are successful and with a defeat you are failing. It is a bit of a matter of luck and we all have it in mind, from our coach to the last man who makes up this team, we all have in mind this thing”
