Tsalbouris: “The most organized team I have played by Panionios – maybe the players in AEK”

THE George Tsalbouris talked to her podcast Stoiximan gbl ‘Man to Man’ for this year’s season Panioniouhis passing by the AEK Betsson but also his overall course in basketball.

At the same time, he referred to the reason he chose to continue his career at the “Cyanos” for his presence Fani Christodoulou in the club, but also for the level of this year’s championship.

In detail what he said:

For his way so far the basketball: “There are things I haven’t done and I don’t have an eternity in front of me. I have had a great time. And basketball is better than ever. And spiritually I feel stronger. For the time being I think I have the situation in my hands. “

For the talents of his generation and if they had the evolution they all expected: “In my generation we had great talents. People are confusing the talent with what can be transformed. We created great expectations with successes and everyone thought that at 19-20 we would only bring successes. Many mistakes have been made, both by the talents themselves and from the groups. I do not think that Greece is a nursery, that it has a way of showing the path to a 15-16 year old child. “

For his experience in the US: “When I went to college I thought the world was mine. I found myself from Katerini in a “paradise” that offered me everything. “

For his first “full” year in his 26th: “Nikos Vetoulas took me and told me exactly what he wanted from me. He gave me responsibilities. It was a challenge very attractive. Apollo Patras may not look like the best choice for me, but for me the fact that the coach who said “I have a goal and I want to achieve it with you” was a great opportunity. The first time I enjoyed basketball was in Apollo. “

For his presence in Spain: “I went to Betis on a” month – month “contract. It is very psycho. Every month you have to prove that you are here. So I found myself in Bilbao for two years. (…) The little one was watching the Spanish league on television and I used to say “Dad I want to play there”. If my career was over today, that I played in Spain leaves me full. I made the dream I had as a child, a reality. “

For “pedophilia” when playing in AEK: “The team did it in a very good mood, but it probably didn’t know how to use it. There was also the pressure pressure, the people were thirsty. Expectations were created which cannot be combined with a nursery. Failed, Moraitis is Panathinaikos, Rogavopoulos in Basconia and I succeeded in Apollo to go to Spain. But maybe the players were too. “

For the years that stand out: “I have been pleased with basketball. In the years with Zdovc and Banky at AEK. In PAOK, Apollo, Spain. And this year I enjoy it very much in Panionios Viva juices. “

For his choice to play in Panionios Viva juices: “I didn’t want to go back to Greece. But with certainty now I can say that Panionios Viva juices, although missing for so many years, is the most organized team I’ve ever played. We don’t miss anything. It’s a pleasant surprise for me. A professional club has a world. I am quit the team’s attempt to return to Doxa. “

For the presence of Fani Christodoulou in the group: “Even now that we go to the end of the year, it creates an embarrassment when I see it! In the first workout that came to Glyfada, he had “nailed” me and I didn’t know if it was good or bad! It’s close to players. It’s a presence that you respect. Just he’s there … “.

For this year’s Stoiximan GBL: “Returning after two years I found things much better. And I don’t mean the racing but the organizational. But also racing, with the exception of the first two below, there is a mess. This competition is making the championship better. A good league pulls all the basketball in the country. “
