THE Mykonos AO He won the title in the Elite League by taking the rise to the Greek Basketball League of the next season, but does not rest on his laurels. The team’s coach, Vangelis Ziagoshe explained that the processes have already begun for the team to have all the conditions, racing, stadium and financial, in order to establish itself in the big category. In detail, Vangelis Ziagos spoke to the EEC Web Radio:
For being the favorite from the beginning of the season: “They say that ‘favorite’ is a clear theoretical characterization. It is a 30-race regular season and follows a series of play-offs and a Final-4, which in fact if you don’t get the first ticket to the final then you enter a psychological discharge and a neutral headquarters. So the concept of the favorite is theoretical, because you don’t play on your own and you are in a very competitive and tough league. There can be a lot and from where you start as a favorite next season you go for your stay. ”
For the festivities on the island after the rise: “All you saw was the culmination of all the spontaneous reactions of an entire local community, which lives an unprecedented situation. We also live this unprecedented situation, even children who have lived through title conquests. For example, Vangelis Mantzaris, who has two Euroleague in his palmar, but if you ask him he will tell you the same thing. What you saw was the second phase of a process. The first was on our arrival at the new port of Mykonos, where there were 200-300 people for the first festivities. Then we entered some small boats that took us from the new port to the old and there we were waiting for a second part of the crowd for the second part of the festivities. There was also a third, which was the trophy of the trophy in the country. It was something unprecedented. He escaped from the established airport, the reception we usually see. It was something very special and impressive. I want to dwell more on the spontaneous of the case. There was something very nice and a very intense feeling that we received from people here. ”
That the administration all season supported its own choices: “This is the wish of every coach. When you are called upon to lead a team technically, you want to be able to make the whole racing track and the surroundings around the basis of your “want”, your own claims and your own expectations so that you can have the end of the day and responsibility for anything wrong. I was lucky enough to be in Mykonos at a time where the leaders of the team, after a season that dominated the feeling of frustration, had decided that “it is our last chance. We were taught by the mistakes of the past and we go to a human being and to give it a human being.” I found myself in this juncture and I am grateful for them. We were fully trusted, supported all our decisions and choices without complaining, and we came to an end with the desired outcome. ”
To support the world all season: “The support of the Myconians was truly unforgettable. All fans warmly support their teams, but this purity of Mykonos fans is something that is scarce. Not only their purity of what they are shouting and what they say from the platform, but as a whole, their culture and how they stood as fans throughout the season, opposite to the guest team. It’s something opponents have to say about us. ”
Whether the design has begun for the following season: “Unofficially and subconsciously in the mind the thoughts of the next season’s design begin before the year is over. In the hypothetical scenario of “We are finally going up. What are we doing?”. Unofficial, then, the process has long been starting. Officially, nothing has started. All I can say is that the goal is to “build” the Greek “trunk” not to start from scratch. ”
If there are thoughts that Jamari Black is one of the foreigners in the GBL team roster: “Jamari is a kid who came from a league in which he made his first rookie season with a very good picture. We were looking too much to give the position of the second stranger, trying to minimize the chance of the wrong choice. We felt that he justified us, both with his overall racing image and his character and how he “tied” with the local community. But the Elite League, another GBL. Nevertheless, it is a child who could get into a discussion process when the issue of designing the team officially opens. ”
For the stadium in view of GBL: “The stadium is one of the three main axes set as a prerequisite for the team to participate in the league. One is the financial autonomy, which is a budget almost complete, and the other is AO. to become OEM, which has also begun for a long time. Currently the stadium is not keeping GBL specifications. There must be some expansion work on both auxiliary spaces and the platform. The Business Plan and the studies are completed and the projects are starting, well -being, on the first week of June. The ideal scenario is for the team to enter its natural seat by returning to Mykonos from its first stage of preparation. ”
For projects on the court: “The big work to do with the expansion of the perimeter space requires Government Gazette, which is a time -consuming process and is not able to be done now. It will be second in the second phase next season. In the first phase, the first tasks to be done are without GG, without breaking the walls. There will be an additional platform over the existing one and there will be some modifications of the existing spaces internally to have the necessary auxiliary spaces set by the league as a prerequisite. ”
On whether AO Mykonos can become a young… Rhodes Colossus: “We cannot compare to groups that have a long history and a very serious footprint on the GBL. We have very common features. It’s not just Colossus, I can also mention Rethymnon. It reminds me very strongly of my term in Rethymnon all this story that takes place here and the culture of the people around the group. The only sure thing is that A.O. Mykonos is not a “firework” group. They want these people to see their “child” to mature, grow, adult, then take the baton and then leave a very nice, healthy, sports footprint in Greek basketball. That is the goal. “
