Tsaldaris: “From the first day we were aiming for something more, Glyfada and people gave us many wins”
Panionios prevailed with Mars 92-78, taking the qualification for the Play–offs her Greek Basketball League And the coach of “Historian”, Dimitris Tsaldaris, was “hosted” in his “immediate ripple” show Eok Webradio With Menelaos Sevastiadis and Yiannis Lambiris.
He said in detail:
For Panionios as a… newcomer this year: “Panionios must star in and must star in the high categories. The “neo -enlightened” is a bit of an oxymoron for a group like us. “
For the target from the beginning of the season: “From the first day that coach Lykogiannis started and I started working to” build “the team, we clearly knew what difficulties GBL was hiding and how difficult and competitive championship it is, but our goal was to create a whole. Clearly the first priority was to get rid of the bottom and did it. From the first day that the roster began to be built, Coach's idea and Staff on how the team will play and what the parquet wants to do in a large extent came out and gave us the comfort of being able to look up and higher. Along the way we saw that the team could look up and higher, so “eating the appetite”. “
For Coach Lykogiannis and the changes: “I should publicly thank Coach Lykogiannis for being the man who called me and brought me to Panionios and worked last year. We had a very good and honest cooperation, which continued this year. With all the internal issues we had, which were not easy to manage, it was a very difficult management of this situation. The coach, for his part, managed it very well, knowing what was going on, “closing his ears” and trying to give the team the vision and the goal. So as things evolved, it was very difficult to manage the part of the season we are in. There are changes in the first third, in half, but changes towards the end is something we don't see often. This change should not bring about drastic changes in management. “
For the stadium on the gum: “There was this 'question mark' with both the Greek and the beef, but there was no response. To be fair, when Panionios played in the Euroleague there was a response, but a stadium like Greek could not always be filled. This stadium, though small, I consider it fit and reminded the world of things from Artakis. “
On whether the team's dynamics would change in Artakis' closed: “The dynamic, turning back and seeing what Panionios' headquarters in Artakis was and what dynamic he had, theoretically we can say yes, it would change. Glyfada gave us many wins. We have reached a “breath” from making the victory with Panathinaikos and 3-4 occupations against Olympiacos and this is a credit that the world takes. “
For the difference between the two 'eternal' from the other groups: “This is the reality in recent years and as far as I remember in Greek basketball. We are lucky to have these two teams. We see the games, we see the players, we admire them in the parquet and we have the opportunity to play opponents to see where we are about these teams. It is an extra motivation for players. The level of capacity and the level of the games went up and the teams came closer. Their presence is only good in the image of the league and to us. “
For its start in the group: “You can't plan, you can't choose. Sometimes life brings them so and especially to professional sport. First match in the SEF, now on the play-offs. We hope to go a little better than 10 days ago. “
For his training future: “Step by step, don't go too far. We make scenarios in our minds, we set goals, but the point is to be realistic in what we want and what we can do. “
