The new Amarousio guard, George Kalaitzakis“Hosted” at the Eok Webradio. Talked about why he said ‘yes’ to his team Elias Papatheodorouthe goals for the new season, his tenure at the Lithuanian Championship, and his brother, Panagiotis. In detail his statements:
On his return to Greece for Marousi: “I saw that the level in Greece has been rising for the last two years. The championship is competitive. I had two good discussions with Coach Papatheodorou and explained the team’s plan. I put them down, I weighed them and saw what was best for my career. I talked to my manager and accepted. My roads with Maroussi are in the same direction. What happens to the team and I think we will see very beautiful things. ”
For the goals of Maroussi the new season: “The roster is refreshed, it has changed quite a bit with the arrival of coach Papatheodorou. I talked and saw that something would happen very good and decided to sign. The goal is to get a stability. The roster is not complete, it’s too early to talk about something else. ”
On his term in Lietbelis: “As we know, Lithuanian basketball is a cult and their first sport, it is their culture. I had played in Lithuania younger again and it was easier to adapt to me because of the coach I knew, as well as the administration because of Panagiotis. Basketball is very simple, you have a role and you just play. The atmosphere on the court was pleasant. There was pressure, but there was nothing unrealistic about the results. My presence in Lietbelis helped me both as a human and as a player. ”
On the course of his career: “I have kept beautiful moments, which are many. The route is the one that remains in the end, travel and experiences. There are also difficulties, ups and downs and you have to get up when you fall. I could not be happy for what I have accomplished. There are also difficult times, which are more than the joys, we all know this, but the route is the one that remains. ”
To his brother, Panagiotis: “It is very difficult for an athlete to do what Panagiotis does on the pitch. The number one is to accept your role and to know what you can do on the stadium. Panagiotis does, he comes in every time and is the game-changer. The child enters and gives 100%. The world and the team love him. He is a child who works very hard and is always ready when he should. Then you show who you are and what character you have. Panagiotis has done it several times. ”
On the increase in foreign players in the Greek league: “I am of the opinion that you need to know your role and make it as best as possible. You have to work daily, because your time will come. I believe that every Greek with the right environment will always play. There are indigenous players with love and appetite. The correct guidance can be done more. You have to know what you can do and talk openly with the coaches. Every technician wants to win, if you are better than the American then you will play more. “
