With a sweeping appearance the Men’s National Polo Team broke Italy with 17-11 and qualified for its semi-finals World championship Liquid track in Singapore.
THE George Afroudakis1st Vice President of the JIT and leader of the Greek mission, spoke to BWINSPOR FM 94.6 and Sotiris Tambakoby paying the team and highlighting the target for a medal:
“In recent years we have been working very much as a federation. Without our athletes and coaches, however, we would have done nothing. Athletes have exaggerated themselves. The Greek pole goes to such events to claim medals. I wish we left with two medals ».
Afroudakis also emphasized the importance of the chemistry and character of the group:
“We don’t just have talent, we have morality personalities. They are all wonderful kids. We may miss better conditions, but we fight with what we have. Italy has sixfold budget from us ».
In the race, he spoke of an ideal game:
“It was one of our best matches. The Italians are meters in management, but today they have failed. The 4 -minute miscarriage and numerical superiority helped us, but we were also amazing. Our goalkeeper was excellent ».
Regarding the semifinals against Spain, Afroudakis commented:
“They play similar to Italy, they are a fast team and very strong. Maybe we are the underdog again, but that says nothing in the water. “.
Finally, for the Women’s National and the semifinal with the US, he said:
“America is a dream team, but at this level there are certainly no results. Everything is judged in the details ».
