Sigalas: “I knew what to expect from the team, the players are always the protagonists”

George Sigalas emphasized that players and coaching teams are the protagonists in a game, praised his players on how they won a quality team, asked to improve defensively and aggressively, congratulated his players and the Patriots, he said, Three -pointers they scored and just waiting to get ready for the match with PAOK.

In detail: “First of all, congratulations to the whole team. To players first of all that are always the protagonists, in Staff. I can’t hide you: I don’t have anxiety, in the sense that I have a different perception. But, there is always this tension, the first game, we want to be good. I think we got a very good grade in how we presented himself to a terribly worthy opponent, who will surely lead this year.

This should now give us various lessons because it was a very nice game, with various situations, which we can use and become better and defensive and aggressive. The key to me, as I said to the kids, is that we have shown that we can. So, since we can, we have to build on the previous game every week. To try not to take many steps back, which will surely be done.

Of course, we are people, but on them we can show that we can, of course, exaggerate ourselves. Congratulations, once again, and also good continuity to both Prometheus and my godfather, George Limniatis. Surely, they will play a lead as a team. ”

Asked if many were expected that Hercules would appear so ready at the GBL premiere, he replied: “The point is not what others are expecting, the point is what I know. So, since we have a team that has shown us some things, I mean a set of players who has shown us some things we know what we can expect and I think we were quite ‘read’. So, I say that this game, what happened inside, the kids know that we have said it. So on this we can press and correct situations and improve.

I had no problem with that. To tell you the truth I didn’t think the team was not ready, it was not prepared properly, the kids did not work well. There is stress, for most, except Moraitis, this is something new. There is anxiety that they are playing in front of the public, there is the public’s willingness to win, for success, but, gentlemen, we know what we are. And on that we will go on. I wish we could do the best, but on this we will go with the forces we know we have and as much as we can show our best. This is … “.

On whether Hercules is on the market and is looking for a center or holding Lambrecht, he said: “Basically at the moment the team is what you see. And so we will go. What will happen tomorrow, tomorrow, in a month, I don’t know. They are situations where there are no ‘magic wands’, all that exists is a clear mind and I can respond to what I have said. So I say that we can use the game and see what we can improve and why it can be improved. It’s not that “kids you have to hear Sigala to do something”. If you do not see the phase and understand that what we are saying, we say it for this reason, which you see with the opponent, there you have to correct. This … That’s why I tell you that this game will give us a lot of things, to show that we can be better. ”

On whether there was no stress in the team, due to the percentage of three -pointers (13/29), he argued: “This is not anxious, it has to do with their ability and I talk about children we know what we have and even in it we can improve even more. First of all, we can become a little more group, keep the ball less in our hands, know when we will keep it and who and what others will do.

So there are little things that can make us play even better. And it is certain that at some point we may not have the good numbers. It can happen, so what will we have as fixed, so that we can hold as close to a game to ‘hit’ in the end. There are no magic things, it’s very specific, but the key is that we know what kids we have. ”

On the PAOK derby, he said: “We will get ready for PAOK and you will see the result in the end. This is what we will do … health and everything else will be done.”
