One of the favorites for medal in Eurobasket considers the Greek team the Dikoudi Municipality. The National Team Officer spoke to ERT shortly before the friendly with Latvia for this year’s effort and entry Giannis Antetokounbos in the group.
“We get to the end of the preparation, John comes in, who is a big part of the team and we enter the final straight. I have the impression that we will be tied up as a team and in the tournament. It is a process that will constantly evolve. We want to get ready in Cyprus. We have to have our guide to last year’s tournament, we had a very good presence and we have to keep last year’s aura. We have a few additions this year, but I consider quality, we have kids who have a shot, it is convenient for John this“, The European champion with the national team in 2005 stressed.
“We go with restrained optimism, we have a very good set, we have players with personality, we have the best player in the world, we are one of the medal favorites, but we have to show it on the pitch. They have us seven in Power Rankings but … what do they know? (laughs). The premiere with Italy will be a key game. Perhaps in the metaphorical friendly we will not show all our papers, neither we nor they. We play in Cyprus, which is like playing at home and will help us a lot. Spain is always … Spain, the group is long“, He added.
