The Cyprus coach is annoyed: ‘It’s disrespectful’

His dissatisfaction with the presence of few journalists, especially Cypriots, at the press conference after the clash with Greece the coach of the team expressed Christopher Livadiotis. However, he welcomed the effort of his players, as did the team guard, Philip Tigas.

Christopher Livadiotis: “I want to express my frustration over the absence of many journalists from our press conference, especially our compatriots. For me this is disrespectful and I want to say it. Not for me, but for my players and their efforts. Today’s game was historic, something unique. We wanted to enjoy it at one time, but at the same time to do the best on the court. What I liked the most was that we controlled our emotions and played basketball. Greek players had the experience, my players do not always play on such a full stadium. We were decent for a long time in the race. We wanted to finally protect Philip Tiga because he had a discomfort and we want to be available in the next games. We knew that Greece did a rotisson, and Yiannis Antetokounbos did not play, but they have twelve high -level players. ”

Philip Tigas: “We’ve been here together for two months working. I agree with what the coach said, we are all together. It was the biggest match of our career. We had more rebounds, the percentages were proportional, but there was a difference in shots, without wanting to say anything with it. I would like to congratulate my team that he never filed the weapons and congratulations to Greece for the victory. Personally, I feel good, I had a nuisance and decided to stay out of the end. I will be ready tomorrow. “
