In its improvement Prometheus, especially in the defensive part stood the Nikos Rogavopoulos characterizing the big game with the Colossus on Saturday at “Tofalos” (17:00) for the 8th game of the Stoiximan Basket League. At the same time, he referred to his call to the National team for the World Cup qualifiers. Details of what he wrote on his blog on the ESAKE website:
«Last week was one of the best for us so far this season. Initially we got a double in Nice against Ionikos, which is a not insignificant team. I think we made it seem easy, when in fact it is a very good team.
Then we beat Ulm in Germany for the EuroCup, a huge result for us, which puts us back on track for a good place in our group. We are very happy because we have started to improve significantly in the defensive part, in which we were in pain at the beginning of the season, we are extremely in control of the pace of the games and I have the feeling that we have not reached the pick of our capabilities yet, we can improve further in the season .
Now we have in front of us a very big game against Kolossos Rhodes, before the break for the National teams. The Colossus has shown excellent results so far, I can say that it is the pleasant surprise of the championship and I believe it will be a very big and competitive game. We play in Patras and we want to use our headquarters. In our last home game against Bursaspor, the people had given us a huge boost to turn the match around. We want to have the world by our side again, we need them no matter who we play against.
This week is important for me also because of my call to the National team. I think it is a supreme honor for every athlete to wear the Coat of Arms and fight for his country, something similar of course applies to me. It is a great honor for me and I will give 100% of what I can to help the National reach high. I am also happy for my teammates in the team, Gikas, Agravanis and Giannopoulos who will also be in the pre-selection. It is a great reward for them to be called up to the National Team once again, since they make a great effort every day and they deserve it completely. We have one game in England and one inside with the Belarusians. We will give everything we have to win them and take a decisive step to qualify for Mud Basketball … “.
