Much has changed since last summer in Slovenia and now the Greek National with Fotis Katsikaris countertop is ready for another trip … with the best possible target. Our first opponent is Senegal (21:00, OTE TV Sport 3 HD and ANT1) and the Greek coach is not facing problems of absenteeism, while everyone trained as normal at yesterday’s workout.

The name of the opponent does not scare, however caution should be exercised, as pointed out by George Printezis in gazzetta.gr. “The last two years Nigeria surprised us at the Olympiacos Qualifying Tournament in Finland and in the Eurobasket these defeats, deprived us of the distinction. That is why, we must present ourselves as focused as possible and not leave any room for our opponents, “were the words of the Olympiacos forward.

For his part, Dimitris Priftis, partner of Fotis Katsikaris said: “The team is composed of Senegalese players who mostly are 3, 4 and 5, with top hat and tall guys, not many guards and have special athleticism, which is expressed in the open field and track rebounds. Here we should show consistency in defense transition and not give them the opportunity to renew attacks. We must approach the game defensively and then play on the offensive without stress and playing according to our abilities, having as a guide the image of the last matches. “
