Vasilis Spanoulis’ statements at the press conference
“We had a very good game defensively, aggressively we had good and some not good times. Kostas did a great job even without scoring, Papanikolaou was amazing, all the kids did a good job. The team can run, shoot and have to find solutions.
I have 12 players and I can use different shapes in the parquet. Everyone must have their role and give something to the team.
Many times you can have assists and many times you can have the advantage for a player in one against one. Overall we have a good harvest in assists in friendly.
We are a team, John is John, but we all have very good chemistry.
Thanasis had a serious injury 15 months ago, but he is an amazing athlete and is a child who gives everything to the team. We had a discussion before he was called to the National and I told him that it depends on him. You can stay one or 15 days or even stay in the team. I do not enjoy here, Thanasis won his position, fought, gave us passion, he is a good teammate, he is talkative. He plays to win, he is not interested in statistics. I take off his hat. He made amazing preparation and won his position here. “
