His course so far Prometheus analyzed by Elias Zouros in an interview.
The Greek coach referred to the new guys of his team, while at the same time he revealed that Conner Frankamp will go to Patras on Tuesday (5/4), in order to be integrated.
Details of what Elias Zouros stated on “EEC WeB Radio”:
For the goals of the team: «Unfortunately we lost a bit of our rhythm with the injuries. So the psychology falls when you see the players get injured. They brought us back to rhythm, training and performance. Nevertheless, we will hit all the games and try to keep the 3rd place until the end of the season and claim what we can until the end of the season».
For this year’s European course Prometheus: «With Cedevita on Wednesday (04/06) is the last game. Unfortunately, due to some unbalanced factors the team could not move forward. But we promise that next year the team will be much better, will fight and move on to the next phase. The most important thing is that in a process of the season, the team must have a full roster, especially when there is a new way of conducting the Eurocup. It is a very heavy program, combined with the new condition of the coronavirus and the new viruses that plagued the team this year. When a roster is not full and ready to face difficulties, there are some factors that keep you from winning. There was a period when we played very good basketball and we were in shape, then we got the coronavirus and since then we have not been able to complete training».
For the 2nd group of the Eurocup where Prometheus was: «I think our group was very strong. The teams are much better than the other group. We see in the 1st group that through the exclusion of Kuban, a team that would not normally have the opportunity to qualify will also qualify. We were unlucky even in this part».
For the young children of Prometheus: «Prometheus has built these amazing facilities. Through the infrastructure program we try to bring out new children. This is the most important part of our job, because if some of these guys manage to play with the team and star in Prometheus and Greek basketball, as is the case with Mantzoukas, this effort is rewarded and you show the way to others. clubs on how Greek basketball will proceed through the production process».
For the young players Bazina and Tanouli: «Tanoulis works a lot and it is only a matter of time before he shows his quality, as soon as his body strengthens. Bazinas is a child who, while he had reached a very good level, especially in training, to start taking time to participate, had the misfortune to suffer from tonsillitis for a long time. As soon as he started to assemble, he got a coronavirus and did not have an increase in his performance as he had shown us during training. Nevertheless, he came in, made his effort and gradually through gaining fitness and getting into a rhythm both of these guys will help us in the continuation of the championship».
For Frankman: «Frankamp will be in Greece tomorrow. First of all, we have to see in what competitive and physical condition he is. He is a quality player, who can give a lot of information that the team needs. And together with the quality of the other players and the return of some of our athletes who are injured, to show at the end of the season the image we showed 1.5 months ago».
