Spanoulis after Great Britain – Greece: “All players come to help, like Sengelia in Georgia and Osman in Turkey”

Greece’s “broken” with 73-72 from Great Britain in London and is now “burning” for winning the next match in its qualifiers, with Vassilis Spanoulis making a public call to Euroleague players to help the team. In his statements after Greece’s National Basketball was defeated by Great Britain, Vassilis Spanoulis noted that other Euroleague players competed in Eurobasket 2025 and stressed that he expects all players to be available in the next game of “blue and white”. Spanoulis’ statements “We wanted the summer to build a new philosophy. We made a first 17 minutes extraordinary, rather than natural. Somewhere there our minds are broken, we’ve lost rebounds, even from shots, which is unacceptable and Great Britain is back in the game. In the third quarter, we got too late, the opponents played a lot harder, at the limit of foul, maybe more. Now we have one more game to win, and everything will be fine. Experiences are perhaps more important than a game now, that is the concept of windows. Nothing is easy and everyone has to prove why they’re being called. They are old and mature children, nothing will be given to them. Three kids made their debut, we have to put on more new kids, so they’re ready to fight. It cost us that our districts had no clear decisions, maybe fatigue also played a role. We had hasty and not right decisions to release the ball. We were hesitant and indecisive. Sunday’s game must be won. I’m waiting for everyone. Sengelia played today with the Georgia national team. Osman went to Turkey national. How do we get to EuroBasket if he’s not on the National Team now? I am always with them, if they are not tired or injured, we want them to come help.”
