Geragotellis: “Nothing is given in the Euroleague”
Yiannis Spheropoulos' direct associate in the Red Star, Vassilis Geragotelis, was “hosted” on Eok Webradio's “Immediate Ripley” show with Elena Vogiatzis and Gregory Papavassiliou and conveyed his impressions of the Euraleig.
He said in detail:
For the seminar he attended: “I wasn't there all the days because of obligations with the National Deaf. While I was there, the seminar was at a very high level and dealt with all the issues. I think it helped all participants. Apart from the fact that these seminars have top coaches, everyone gets things. These days I got something from everyone and this is the characteristic of the seminar. It is interested in taking stimuli and develop them.
To design the next season in the Red Star: “What is left is to acquire peripherals, maybe there are two. We want to continue to improve. Last year we took a step further and finished from 16th place to 10th. I want to believe that we will be as competitive. Nothing is given in the Euroleague and especially in recent years. All groups are just as close. The budgets are growing and we have a big budget for Red Star data. We want to make a team competitive, more athletic, with a younger average age. The year has so many trips and great stress. It is easier to injure an athlete and we have done it in his first phase. “
On whether they fit into the same five, Montek with Petrusev: “Good players fit everywhere. Montek is a player playing in the “4” position, but with a low shape he also plays in “5”, even in “3” in another shape. Petrusev is also in “4”, but he also gives solutions as a center. Yes, the chances are against us, but if he stays with us he will fill both positions. We signed two players and waiting for Boloby to return as quickly as possible. At the latest to return is in January. Maybe we want a player in this position and Petrusv can cover us there. “
To manage the roster: “Logic says we need to have more players. There are more games and we in the league have many trips to other countries. But, on the other hand, the big roster creates a problem because everyone wants to play and we have to manage players with a given time. The coaches should also manage the pace. We give 80 races and when you change shapes the pace spoils. You need a “golden scales” to manage everything right, from time to injury. “
