Statements after the end of our National Friendly match with France, made by Kostas Papanikolaoudescribing a class with the “Trikolor”, and also talked about the Eurobasket goals!
In detail what the National Chief said:
For France friendly: “It was a very important lesson for us, in view of the official races to come. It was the right time to show us that we still have things to improve. We have worked very hard with great dedication, but we still have things to correct. Time is running out. Each one has to work with his mind. In the video. To put things in the matches ».
Whether Yannis Antetokounbos will play at least 30 minutes in the official matches: “I have no reason to coach. The French are very athletic. They pushed us. They took us out of our positions. These pieces must be working ».
If there is a problem in ‘1’ when opponents are pushing: “There is no disadvantage. It’s a team job to get the ball down. The point is to be in our positions and to run the systems properly. And to be strong in defense so that we can find easy points too. “.
For what is the national ceiling in the face of Eurobasket: “There are no ceilings. We designate the ceiling with the effort in the parquet. It may be the exclusion in the first round, if we are not as concentrated as we do not bleed at each phase. It may be the whole road to the end. It’s a 20 -day tournament and we have to get our best. Let’s go with this mentality and present the best we can ».
