Statements in view of our critical confrontation with our national Spainfor the last match in this year’s Eurobasket 3rd Group, Vassilis Spanoulis!
The “blue -white” coach initially made it clear that he would have all the players available, and then stressed that everyone in the team knows what points of their game to improve, adding that the match is very important, but not the final.
In detail what the national coach said:
“I think in a tournament there is no team to go … train. Neither Greece ever went undefeated, nor always played perfect in all games. We know what to improve, we knew what to improve, somewhere we were expecting a bad game to come, no matter what we didn’t want. Many times a defeat now, in the clubs, maybe it’s better than doing it later. Isn’t it?
The final is not the match with Spain, because if we lose we are not excluded. But it’s a very important game for us, we want to win it. As the premiere was very important. All kids will be ready and we will be properly prepared for this game.
Spain in this Eurobasket, like us, does not do a good job in rebounds. We are one of the worst teams in rebounds. Both have to do a better job. We know it and we have to find the way, from the way the players are shaking and we defend me. I also need to find the way how we will have more bodies in the racket. Whatever way we find, the will and ability to go to rebound and get the ball counts above all. I trust the kids, I have complete confidence in them and I think they will.
In the morning we talked to John. We decided not to fight for the good of his own. The team went to play like that. John is ready. We have to think not only in the short but also in the long run. We have our own goals, our own logic in our plan and we will follow it. It’s not a worrying thing.
When you build a team, you build it with the materials you have. I made this team with John and so I made this team in National Greece. It’s like getting Doncic, or Jokic from Serbia or Senngun from Turkey from Slovenia. All teams are reasonable to have stars, as we do, to have the protagonists, as we do. It is logical to have a shooter, like us … We are a very dangerous team when we are all together and when you work to be together and then you don’t play as if you are all together, it is difficult for children to assimilate and change all this from day to day. Our job is when a player feels something to protect him to have him in the next games
Spain is refreshed, they have a driver of Aldama and Briduela as a driver, they have Willie Erngomet in the racket, they have many experienced kids such as Huanzo and Prandiya who does a good job. They have two 19 -year -olds in the position of the playmaker. It is a team that always has a jersey, it may be missing players who have had a great career with Spain, but Spain always has a heavy jersey. ”
We don’t look at the fourth group. All we look at is ourselves, how we will improve. And when we don’t play well, we look at what we didn’t do well to improve. This is my job and my partners. I have complete confidence in the team, I have told them from day one. I believe that when this team is complete, it is a very dangerous team and we have proven that.
I’m not interested in how the Spaniards think, because we have thought many times as if we were in place of Spain and ours. It is not the final for us, such as for Spain that considers qualifying. Beyond that is a game we want to win, we want to close the group with a victory, to react after a moderate as a bad look, and we have proven that we can. I believe we will react.
We analyzed the game, we saw what we didn’t do well. There is no unmistakable in this job and no one is perfect. You have to be open -minded, see your mistakes, improve and whoever does it, progresses ».
